Hi Fishbowl Community,

I am making a career switch from Marketing/Account Management into Consulting. Would appreciate if someone can share their path into this field and how they went about finding a case study partner to practice with? Any great books/ or recommended online programs/certifications would be helpful too!

Thanks 😊

I had several interviews with Deutsche bank and they have verbally offered the job about 2 months ago. I noticed on Workday Tuesday the status says "offer in progress". In the time between, I did get some calls the offer is still in progress and is slowed down due to manager out of office (among other things). How long should I wait until I need to call back and get an update? And this type of situation commonplace?

I’m interviewing for an associate level Management Consultant, Financial Transformation role at KPMG. Anyone available to chat for a few minutes?

I am currently a PwC senior associate working in IFS (L&D) and am interviewing for a senior advisory learning services role at KPMG. If I were offered the job, I assume there would be a significant pay increase due to moving from an internal role to a client facing one. But what are the other pros/cons of jumping firms/moving from one LoS to another?

Interviewed last week and the recruiter said he would get back to me early this week. Haven’t heard anything, should I wait it out or reach out? 😅

Planning to leave consulting early next year. But dam I need to start interviews.

🐟🐠 looking for insights on types of questions for a corporate strategy interview (director role PLS industry)? What tools / reading material is out there to practice? TIA!

All. In the process of exiting consulting and have numerous interviews lined up. What are some diplomatic and interview-friendly reasons that people use to describe why they’re leaving consulting. For me personally is about finding a healthy balance and not working like a maniac - I don’t care to be a partner so why kill myself. Depending on the interview I will be honest but at the same time I don’t want my reasons to drive assumptions on their end. In any case - any advice is appreciated!

Screwed up final round interview. Fight with spouse. Stocks and crypto down. Who’s with me
