How do you come to terms with the reduced income trajectory that will happen when you exit to industry? I know it's possible to leave for industry with quite a big jump in salary, but after that salary growth seems downright stagnant. How do you turn your back on the possibility of making a million a year's a partner? I know not everyone would actually make it to partner, but still.

What are the best exit opportunities for management consultants (transformation jobs) at a bank?

Any folks exited from Big4 to FP&A in tech? I work in valuation now and want to make it to a finance role in tech in the medium term (2-3 ish years). Anyone done similar? Anything you would do differently?

Can someone please refer me to any new grad role for associate cybersecurity. Thank you in advance!

Wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this short term vs long term decision; currently I'm a consultant making 100k. Friend just got a job offer from another competitor for 150k senior consultant. I won't hit senior until summer 24. My thought process is when I hit senior in 2 year I can apply for a manger role elsewhere for more. Should I follow suit as my friend and run or stay the course?

I just found out I was promoted… in October. In November, my project ended and I was told I’d be fired if the client didn’t have another role for me. Am I crazy or is flip-flopping like this kind of ridiculous?

I interviewed with managers at PwC for a senior associate position (internal firm services, no consulting) a week ago. Should I send a follow up or wait a few more days?

My application status says is still under “interviewing”.

What is the role of the PML at KPMG? Are you my manager or not? How can I expect to develop a relationship or to have you go to bat for me if we only talk like three or four times a year? I’m new here and I don’t understand this model of leadership! How does anybody ever get promoted? And how do you build relationships in this firm? Is this the way across all Big4 firms?

Anyone at McKinsey able to help with a referral? Thanks!

2nd Year MBAs who didn’t land a FT consulting role, what are your plans for the next 6 months leading up to graduation? (Same boat)

Hi Fishies, wondering if someone at BDO can give me a referral. Would love to talk about my experience.

Anyone know what the interview process (length) is for corporate reputation/ financial services team at FTI? I was interviewing for another team but they can’t fill the role now until March due to budget issues. Now I’m interviewing for this CR team. Thanks! @FTI Consulting

Hey uhh I’m new to this - anyone work in Financial/Capital Markets consulting and would be willing to help me out? Got referrals to EY and PWC and unfortunately no luck still. Referral thread on here is a nightmare and my posts are lost in the crowd.

Context: 2 yrs with middle office/vendor background

Would you take a terrible a role at Big 4 to break in?

Recruiter from Aon reached out to gauge interest for their associate consultant position, has anyone worked there, or interacted with them and willing to share more?

I know they're involved in financial services and insurance so I'm not really sure if they qualify as a consulting firm.

Is ACN strategy in Healthcare hiring or on hiring freeze?

Anyone have any experience with Scrum Master role that can tell me the need for and importance of ongoing Backlog clean up/prioritization tasks? Not fully engaged in the activity when I don’t fully understand the necessity.

Any advice on how to prepare for an MBB role? Any skills or advice for the first weeks/months on the job. (How to make a good impression etc)

Anyone hiring ZS talent? Some of my junior teammates were impacted by our “non-lay off” just now. Not due to performance. DM me, thanks!

I’m a design strategist/researcher— what consulting firms are hiring for that and actually do good work and not innovation theater? I’m getting a little disgruntled at C1, and looking to work with very smart people who know their shit.

I have experience in web development, QA testing, and some project management (not officially as a role but in the nature of work I've done in the past). The last few roles I've had were Business Systems Analyst, Associate Developer, and now Consultant. How can I get my foot into product management? Are there degrees or certs that can boost me on paper? I'm not very good at selling myself.

Anyone hiring for healthcare management consultant or senior consultant positions? Please let me know.

Any Capco Consultants (CO level) on the RISC side want to share salary and YOE? Looking at transitioning from my current role and wanted to see what the potential pay may be. Currently in another state but looking for roles in Florida.

Are any big 4 hiring in the infrastructure/major project advisory teams currently? Specifically interested in KPMG. I haven’t seen any postings in a while.

When is to early to switch from a role. I recently got hired but I want to make a lateral transfer to the role that is more aligned with my career goals.

Is a BCG “People Manager” (within the Change Management, Transformation, and Purpose team) the same as a traditional client-facing consulting manager role? The recruiter gave me a slightly obscure job description and I can’t figure out if it’s similar to the “project leader” type roles, or different?

Got rejection email from McKinsey for a summer internship, but it said they saw potential in my application and encouraged me to apply for a full-time position. Do they actually mean that?

Referred a guy to my firm. They low balled him. I told him to tell them to f off. I am proud of myself and disgusted with my firm’s leadership. Anybody hiring for strategy and operations transformation consulting roles focused on consumer finance? Disgusted to the point I’d rather move on sooner than later..

Referred a colleague to ACN’a vet development program. He’s got a Masters prior to deployment and immediately started a coding bootcamp post deployment because he wants to find a stable job. His application’s been in “Received” status for over a month. Are we going through a hiring freeze no one knows about or is it normal to have to wait this long for someone to just look at a potential candidate’s resume?

Can anyone help me with a referral to a role with the NBA (national basketball association) ? I see many that I fit the criteria for just seeing extreme amount of applicants which usually doesn’t deter me but wanted to reach out to see if there was anyone here who works there. Thanks!

Any consulting firms hiring for life science/pharma strategy roles? Currently have some industry experience at big pharma and ops consulting. Total 3 years
