2 YOE at Big 4. Interviewing at a local asset mgmt (could call it Private Equity) firm for a 2 year analyst position to work across investment, ops, and investor relations. Good way to exit big 4 tech consulting? Would immediately pursue MBA after, hopefully to enter Turnaround and Restructuring

Just want to get out of tech consulting while also giving myself the best chance to get into M7 (already took GMAT and have a high score)

First I’ve ever heard of someone thinking about private equity as a stepping stone to turnaround and restructuring. Interested in your logic if you can share more.

Ha as a Director myself, I wouldn’t call it coasting, but I get it. Don’t underestimate how you can leverage a pre-MBA role and convert for something permanent. Saw a few guys during my MBA basically intern (unpaid) at VC/PE shops full time while also taking class, and that hustle paid off in full time roles upon graduation. GPAs suffered a little, but the decision makers cared more about the hustle and experience gained than their grade in “Strategic Pricing”.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
