Anyone from McKinsey, Bain, or BCG willing to connect. I'm looking to transition from Federal Consulting to a strategy shop. Wanted to reach out to get some advice. Not looking for a referral but some guidance instead!

What do you have a questions on?

Are you looking for strategy or MBB?

BAH, Big 4 has strategy projects too , so maybe start there.

Because BAH federal consulting is a couple steps removed from the candidates MBB hires from. Just trying to be realistic for OP

Haha thanks!! Trying to shoot for the stars

The move is possible (I made it), but it isn’t easy. You’ve clearly articulated what you want out of the move, but now you have to articulate the value that you’ll bring to them.

Are you looking to make a switch from federal consulting to federal MBB? That’s possible, but there just aren’t that many openings out there. If you have significant relevant experience at a desirable client, that can help.

If you’re looking to make the double switch into MBB private sector, that’s harder, and would likely require an MBA from a top MBA feeder program where MBB recruits.

This is really solid advice. Would love to connect and discuss further.

I've been looking into potentially doing an MBA - I have a Masters in Finance but don't know if I want to take on the additional debt of an MBA. Might be worth it though.

Passed both the phone screen and HM. Then recruiter tells me that they extended an offer to another candidate, but want me to still do virtual on-site interviews for when future headcount opens up. So I did them.

Is this a common practice and would they put multiple candidates through this? I’m guessing they really liked me to still want to do on-sites for a future role but for all I know the future headcount might disappear.
