Looking for career advice transition - from Consulting to FAANG??
I’m looking for some career advice from the experts out there. I have 16 years consulting experiences (in Accenture, Deloitte and PwC) mostly in Data Warehouse and Data & Analytics such as SAP BI/BW/HANA and Business Objects. I also have a PMP certification (2011) and I’m a strong Project Manager as well. For the last 7 years, I have been leading, managing, and selling SAP implementations to different clients. In average, I led and managed 35-50 developers onshore & offshore; and my average project sells between $2 million and $10 million.
The challenge that I have:
1. I have to sell a project in order to get in the project since my client’s bill rate is very high; I have no control about this.
2. Despite my selling numbers and experiences; I’m still not a senior manager. The firm always find an excuse not to promote.
3. Sometimes, after I sold multimillion dollar project; the firm will replace me with cheaper resource to keep high profitability which I completely understand. Then, I have to start all over again back to point #1.
Lately, I’ve been debating to make transition to full time industry like Google, Facebook, Apple, or Amazon. My question: 1. Is it easy for someone like me to make this transition? 2. Is there a need of my skill set in these tech industries (Apple, Facebook, etc.)?
P.s. Thank you for reading this and thank you in advance for your advice. Any referral to these tech firms (Apple, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) will be greatly appreciated.
