Really? You interview for those roles at equivalent of 1.5 years post MBA at BCG

It’s more Manager level to be honest. SM is equivalent to VP or SVP. Director level compensation falls in the same range as what you’d be paid at a Manager level in consulting.

Director happens at the Senior Associate level all the time. All about your background. If you got 3 years work exp, no, you won’t be a director, if you have 10, yes you will. Senior covers a broad spectrum, and many do the work of mgr and Dir all the time. Put your best foot forward dude!

SM

Senior manager (experienced) with a blend of delivery and business skills (ie strategy)

Or a low level partner

Most of my director friends are are making 275-300k base.

I dont know any mgrs that make that as their base

I guess its hard to generalize Director level as well. Some Director salaries (with bonus) are 20-30% more than SM at ACN

OP if you are an underpaid SM or just made SM yes then that’s the case (mostly) but also agree with you that every company has their own hierarchy and it’s hard to standardize.

Again we are talking about people who are seasoned managers not the fast trackers who make Managers with 4 years in consulting....

Too many generalizations. Some companies make VPs out of people with 2 years experience.

I know a manager who just got an EVP title with Fortune 500 company

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.
