So a couple of things 1) People & Change is in MC 2) People & Change is not only change management 3) Training is not the same thing as change management

Of the Big 4 KPMG is generally considered #4 although a lot of it is based on hearsay. No harm kicking the tires and getting a feel for the team dynamics as that does not come out clearly in any ranking and is key for a good experience, everything else being largely similar

What is change management? Honest question, isn’t there a major overlap bw PMO effort and change management efforts, all consulting lingo and concepts aside?

CM sucks. Basically just tons training material, admin stuff like setting up trainings, organizing team events and team building activities with the client, etc

Change management does a lot of cultural changes and helping organization staff buy in to big changes

Don’t do it - go somewhere/ anywhere else
Change Mgmt practice there is a mess

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
