This obviously depends on the size of the company you're a VP at. Fortune 100? I'd say it translates to a director or higher. Startup? The VP title could mean squat and you'd come in as a Senior Associate / Consultant

It's also worth noting there are differences between what a Senior Manger means across the big 4

Experienced manager/ low SM = VP I think. But have also seen managers go to industry as directors and SVPs and vice versa.

Welp, I can’t edit.

SVP = Partner

My bad guys, sorry - I meant VP, you’re right. Blame my late night brain :)

Senior, or Manager

Dammit, I didn’t write the post correctly. What is this role at AlixPartners equivalent to in big4. I’ll edit the post.

Most big 4 managers I’ve seen come in at the VP level. Some SVP. Those at senior manager level come in at SVP or director level. Unless you are an absolute rock star seller, they won’t bring you in at the MD level

Most Fortune 500 would have a VP = Partner. SVP/EVP is similar to LCSP/LEP.

Well is there a level above SVP in Alix partners? If so then SVP is principal/Director/SM. And VP is M.

From Kearney: assoc = VP, manager = SVP and principal = Director. There are enough data points because so many Kearney folks work here. It’s not so clear from B4.

I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back
