I’m not at McKinsey, but know folks at BCG, Bain, Accenture and Deloitte. If you’re an experienced hire, a referral will do you good. If you’d like to switch careers, and what you’ve been doing isn’t similar to consulting, school is the way to go. Ivey MBA is great for networking opps, but reach out to folks on LinkedIn before making that decision.

What role do you want to come in as? If it’s as a traditional consultant, you’ll want a referral or something more consulting-aligned in your recent history (grad school works here too, and you should try and get a referral while there)

If it’s as a data analyst/something outside pure play consulting, you could have a chance as is (but referral is always gonna make it easier to get an interview)

This might be a long shot but I'm looking for a volunteer who is trying to break into a federal career. Maybe a transitioning veteran, recent grad, or career-changer.

I'm pursuing my master career coaching cert and need to do a recorded 45-minute session. You don't have to be identified if you don't want to.

The single session is all I'm asking but could certainly turn into a longer lasting coaching relationship (at no cost), if you like.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
