What are the exit opportunity levels when getting a job in industry after consulting? I seem to hear everyone from senior consultant to SM say they would get Director level, & that can't be the case.

Generally seems to me that the mgmt hierarchy is manager -> SM -> director -> SD -> VP -> SVP -> c suite...

How it maps with consulting titles varies, because a place like IBM could have a SC that is 2 YOE, and at D a SC would be min 4-5 YOE and often post-MBA. Then you could have inflated titles in industry, for example at Microsoft they require 1 YOE to be a “manager” in strategy... cool title but you’re still an analyst.

Director level is completely different between different organizations. I’m looking at laterally moving to some places, manager / senior manager at others, and director / senior director at a few more.

Starting us off with an important tip: Your resume is a marketing document, not an autobiography. It should include relevant jobs, responsibilities, and perhaps most importantly, achievements. Where you can quantify an accomplishment or just talk up a major project you led at work or in an internship, do so. The point is to make the hiring manager think, “Wow, I need to talk to this person! They seem like a good fit!”

My total exp is 3.8 years, since I have already spent 3.8 of my life in Java stack, would that be good for me if I make a switch to some other language or tech stack? I see, there are very few position for go.
