Any interview tips for a manager role? I'm coming from a smaller consulting firm with a lot of experience filling prominent interim executive positions at large well known health systems. The people im interviewing with have largely big 4 backgrounds but i am very comfortable with the projects and managerial roles the job description entails, but i am wondering if you big boys have any particular things you look for when youre hiring for this type of role, or any sort of preemptive judgements for those that dont come from big consulting firms. The manager role at this company is two levels below partner (with only sr. Manager in between). Thoughts?

Hey thanks S&1. I know im not a part of the big boys club, but i do pride myself on my mentorship of past employees that have gone onto accept jobs at prestigious places. I hope this forum remains a place for honest and constructive feedback. Part of my participation in this bowl is to understand a bit more about that side of the industry, and i have found that the se kinds of struggles and insecurities are just as abundant as they are from where im standing. I have a lot of respect for the talented folks in big 3 and big 4, and i think theyve worked very hard to earn that prestigious distinction, which is why im disappointed when i see sarcastic or non productive feedback because it cheapens everything theyve worked so hard for.

Oh honestly like smart people don’t work for smaller firms... people on this thread could have been more helpful. If people at the big 4 had this experience they would be like ‘promote me to partner asap’

The post acute arena is more of a niche. I get great opportunities to fill directorship and vp roles, but when im back in the office i feel like im put in a box, having experienced these roles over and over again. Ive thought about approaching clients to just buy me out of my non-compete, but if im being honest with myself, i am not ready to give up consulting or business development. And to your point, youre right, it DOES seem off, and i feel an inequity between the responsibilities of my client engagements versus my title within my firm. Truly im just looking for an organization that will a) compensate me based on my experience and skill set and b) incentivize me to develop business.
