AP at IBM puts you on an accelerated path to Partnership in Big 4 or other consulting companies.
Thanks P1

In my opinion, AP at IBM is Sr Mgr at Accenture. I have known folks with 2-3 years at ACN SM exiting to IBM at AP

Assuming you are referring to the BFS team at Cog, senior director is a meaty role (considered a partner rung) in a good team, at a company that is doing well. The culture might be a little if a shock, but I’ve spent some time there and have nice things to say.
IBM seems to have really lost their way, but they keep making relevant tech acquisitions that are keeping them relevant.
Guidehouse is PE owned and mostly risk focused as the non gov stuff was formerly Navigant. Good people, but very limited tech capabilities. I understand comp is somewhat limited, but don’t have firsthand experience.

Very results oriented, scrappy. Overall people were nice. The biggest shock I had was the travel budgets and hotel rate restrictions (big issue in HCOL cities) and the challenges getting things done via offshore support teams (everything done on Indian time)
The leadership in the BFS team was very capable. At least big4 level and in some cases legit top tier level folks.
The lower level talent, managers and below were a crap shoot. Lots of sourcing from third tier firms.
They are pushing hard to raise rates which should help to up the talent quality.
