It is consulting but more towards long term projects. Same reason that most of the effort goes into how one actually implements strategy from a ops-tech point of view. If you are looking for a short-term strategy and insights kinda projects, this not the track.

Ok thanks for the info. Do you know anything about the growth opportunities? Are they broad or more narrow?

Depends on what you are looking for. Very hard to answer otherwise

Ok I’ll try to rephrase...is it more similar to actual consulting or pmo work? The word operations is what I’m trying to place haha

Let’s just say the “operations track” focuses more on implementation and automation of processes. pmo component is definitely huge and important in operations projects too, so I wouldn’t deny that either

Yeah it depends lol

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

If a firm has multiple openings that you’re interested in, is it a good or bad idea to apply to more than one position?

They’re also looking for an M&A with 1+ years, so it may be easier to aim for that, but I’ve heard horror stories re WLB for M&A. Would still try it out tho bc I’m desperate to leave lit, but don’t want to make a faux pas. Any insights appreciated!
