What are your thoughts on going from life insurance internal consulting to quasi “Chief of Staff” type role at a national life insurance brokerage? Expecting 20% raise, but have reservations about the possible admin and “babysitting” components of the role.

In consulting "chief of staff" roles are typically glorified exec admin roles. I personally would run away from those. No actual decision making abilities, just a lot of coordination. Yes, there is a lot of visibility, but for the kind of work no one wants to do.

It tends to be a "little fish in a big pond" type role. Like sure, you're working with executives but your job is mostly admin/pmo tasks.

Morning all. I am looking for a favour/solid advice. I've been in the interview process for a dream role over the past month or so and just found out I didn't get the job after final round 🙃.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened during the past year searching. Looking for a SC level role within healthcare/public sector consulting firm. I know the job scene is a bit miserable currently but if anyone in the bowl is aware of a role I would love to have a chat.

Thanks all
