What’s the consulting level equivalent to a “director” in industry. Does senior manager align more to director? regular (engagement) manager? senior consultant even? Include industry for qualification

It’s better to find out the roles and responsibilities than go just by job title when making comparisons because so many companies have different nomenclature.

Being lazy. Designations are org specific or industry specific. For example, I know a director who joined as specialist master (manager) in Deloitte from a large organization. When you reach that level in Industry, you either come at M or SM level depending upon any prior client service experiences. There are orgs that assign Director or VP level for PM level equivalent folks. They may be considered down for SC too.

VP

No value add here bcg1. But am hoping there will be someone who will add value by relating his experiences unlike the 3 of us. OP atleast has a good question

I'm guessing from your title that you're Accenture Strategy. In that case, I'd say 4th year consultant to manager is the equivalent of director with a small to medium team in industry. Industry directors with large teams are more like experienced manager or new SM. SMs are usually VP to SVP and MDs are SVP to C suite.

I dont think banking VPs equate to SMs.

Banking (investment / big). ASC=ASC. VP=M. D=SM. MD=PPMD

Banking (regional)/much of industry: M=ASC D=M/SM. VP=M/SM (more senior, but often a lot of stretch/title inflation). SVP=SM/PPMD (but watch out for title inflation; some orgs have endless SVP)

Director

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive. The alternative is another masters in CS which is the same cost as many boot camps. Any recommendations on picking between a coding boot camp and getting another masters degree in CS? I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
