Lots of intro calls and do whatever BD/proposal work you can get your hands on for the group you want to switch to. Also, you likely want to be quiet to your own group about it until the practice you're switching to has a spot available (unless you're confident you have enough of a read on your RP/coach and don't think it's something they'd block)

Fwiw I've been party to several of these deals and it has nothing to do with skill. It's 100% luck and timing. It's all about skills being in demand and/or someone taking a flyer.

It's very doable if you're a high rated performer...can't look like you're running from failure. Also, try to arrange a "test drive" project...we've brought several into our group that way.

What group to and from? I just did it. You need a director or partner to vouch for you. Once you have that it's super easy.

Easier if you're moving location as well. Same city is harder. Someone needs to pull you through and your group needs to agree to let you go.

I keep getting contract offers on LinkedIn (think self-employed consultant). The rates seem really good ($120-$150/hr). I have around 5 years exp and a CISSP. I’m highly considering leaving big4 to become a contractor/self-employed consultant. From a risk perspective I’m young and have no kids and low debt.
Anyone did it? Any feedback?
