SC/ M . After that you do get labeled as a consultant with the downside of not have operating experience (owning problems)

like

Agreed. Also SMs usually come over as D/SD and sometimes the lack of long-term people leadership is a big negative too.

M or junior SM, if you’ve spent a few years in as a SM you ought to try to go for partner

like

PMD for c suite. A so you can learn the company from the ground up, etc. M so you have managing experience but still a generalist. In that order

Partner

Weird question - obviously you’d make more leaving as a SM over a C. Are you talking about # of opportunities, growth trajectory, and opportunity cost at a given level?

like

I have heard that it is harder to leave at SM because you would seem over qualified or the desired positions hire in-house, or they have to accept little to no Salary increase to get in.

I've heard M many times

like

SC/M - you’ll have enough consulting experience to be an ex-consultant and bring many of the good work habits.

At the same time, young and junior enough to not be seen as too much of a generalist.

This really varies on a case to case basis, but generally true.

like

Sc/m - roles become more niche at sm level and job hunting is a bit harder IMO

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
