They just laid off 15k people??

OP they laid off 15K people because they’re paying attention to their bus strategy - which has struggled in US markets. I’m not trying to justify, but I do think context here is important.

GCB4 is far too junior for Senior Manager. It'd be a step backwards.

Having been at HSBC for two years and seen a number of people jump ship from consulting to perm, I'd say the equivalents are:

Analyst / Consultant = GCB5
Senior Consultant = GCB4
Manager / Senior Manager = GCB3
Partner = GCB2 to GCB0

I am fully aware that this is the consulting exit group and I would like to get your input on my career plans:

As some of my colleagues I would like to eventually make the move to a strategy consulting company.

Since it is usually the other way around: on which level would it make sense to "get in" and why?

Is it even senseful after more than a decade working for a tech company? (And don't get me wrong: I love working for SAP.)

Otherwise, I might alter my plans.
