Any advice for someone looking to transition from Accenture Management Consulting to Strategy in MBB? I've got contacts in all three and am 1 year into my career as an Analyst.

Highly unlikely you'll transition to Bain without going the MBA route at this point.

Leverage your contacts :)
Any specific questions?

How can I make sure to not get tagged as an Operations / Implementation guy? Want to move away from that and to more Strat-like mandates.

like

At BCG folks aren't really "tagged" until maybe mid-Principal. So there is a good chance you'd be doing a wide variety of projects. Experienced hire recruiting is year-round, no limitations. Is your contact referring you?

like

Bain is generalist so you would not be tagged as anything coming in.

like

Going to Accenture Strategy before applying would make your application stronger.

Slim chance. We don't really do year-round recruiting - mostly limited to campus recruiting timelines. You may have a chance if your name gets pulled in with full time recruiting timeline, you went to a target and would've been competitive, and your contact has pull in your target office. Even then, still a stretch.

like

OP- came from a target and am recruiting with BCG and mck (first round with McK TBD but will happen; final round with BCG coming up). I have a decent number of friends at Bain- it really doesn't seem to happen.

like

And what would be the best time to make my move? Should I expect delays from the time I get hire till my start date?

McKinsey started doing implementation. Bain and BCG are less risky in terms of being identified as an implementation guy.

BCG1 I've got a few solid contacts at BCG and Mckinsey. Light on Bain. Only one I know is in California. Come from Montreal so it's a bit far.

Bain2 even if you're applying for an Analyst position?

Hi! I’ve been in hospitality & management for over 10 years and desperate for a career pivot. As anyone in restaurants knows, the work is ~80 hours a week and often making less on salary than your own tipped-wage employees. I have experience with training, team building, HR, financial analytics, client needs, communications and so much more. Does anyone have recommendations on a new career path or job listings to investigate??
