What would you all say is the sweet spot at which to exit consulting? Is it at the manager level?

For a technical role at FAANG would recommend senior. I’m a Director now but wish I had left much earlier. Manager can be tough - depends what you specialize in.

Thank you so much! And what does the PWC director equate to? manager? Senior manager?

I’ve seen C1 lead to really good FAANG exits and then good experienced M exits (M3/4). M1 exits seem comparable to SC exits unless there’s YOE somewhere else. FAANG and industry care way more about YOE vs title

Prior to entry.

Hello all!

Am I correct in my understanding that:

Over a certain income ($76k as of 2021), a single person CANNOT make tax-free contributions to a traditional IRA if you have a workplace retirement plan?

In my example, I have a work 401k, and my adjusted gross income is over (or just about hovering) at the 76k limit. This means I can't make pre-tax contributions to a traditional IRA, so I should just go for a Roth?
