Worth considering an opportunity to move directly from pre-MBA role at a large firm to Director at a small consulting firm? I have 2 YOE but no management exp, could it stunt my growth trajectory if I’m not ready for the role?

It is worth considering. Have the call with the recruiter. See what the responsibilities and pay look like. Decide from there. Of course, set your expectations: 2 years as director there, bringing you to 4 YOE, won't mean that F500 companies or major consultancies consider you for director/SM roles anytime soon, but maybe the experience will be worth it.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
