I would say exp associate. Senior is hard most I know failed and quit since pressure is too hard and expectation was high.

Definitely associate, I moved from a mid tier to b4 as a senior recently and it’s a nightmare

I guess both, definitely understaffed

Anything manger and below I would think. Easiest would be senior

Damn with these responses, guess I was an anomaly. I dropped from manager to senior and did great. Maybe dropping from senior to associate is what would make it easier.

I mean you were dropped a level which is the best way to go. Glad it worked for you plus you seemed to be in tax which is not that different from firm to firm. Audit is really different hence people have a harder time getting acclimated with it.

Should be pretty easy at all levels senior manager and below at the moment. Desperate for staff

Experienced Associate or Senior unless you are willing to take a step back in title/comp

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
