What does the path to a C-suite/executive level industry role look like?

In consulting, the path to partner is fairly linear and straightforward. But in industry it seems there’s a lot more politics and luck involved.

Is consulting partner the simpler way to achieve a 7-figure earnings potential?

To answer your last question: yes, 100 times over.

To answer your first question: stay in consulting until you’re a partner then jump ship.

Yes. The downside of all the money is lack of WLB hence people choose to exit at a point they think their income level is ‘ideal’

It’s pretty cut and dry, just have your dad be the President of a family owned private company and inherit it

Sales

That’s all

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

I need advice.
I work at an manufacturing company as a technician. My job title is a technician but they use me as an engineer as-well. There are three techs overall in the company. My boss who hired me understands what my degree is in so he uses me to design parts and write reports. The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it? (I ran out of characters)
