If it looks good for my resume

Literally just apply. You’ll probably come in as junior staff 2. If you’re down with that I’m sure any Big 4 would take you on.

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
