If you want to work on CDD, Bain is a great spot. McK has a strong practice as well. LEK and EY-P are great places to learn but more likely to run into sell side work (VDD) or work with MM funds or UMM funds. Plus if staying long term the economics of leadership at McK or Bain are far better

Yea def can get into 8 digits

Lek. EY-P. Or Bain,

Literally the only three options

I wouldn't discount McK and BCG - Obviously not as PE focused as Bain but let's be honest recruiters are HAPPY to talk to anyone from MBB.

Assuming Bain, McK, S&, LEK, EYP are top of the list, but curious if the work is much different across these groups and what makes them stand out against the rest.

MBB/T2

A&M and AP both focus to PE. And if you look at their alum on LinkedIn you see a lot of of them work in PE.

Value creation and CDD are very different skill sets. LEK you’ll do a lot of CDD, which could be interesting for investment roles.

For PE ops, I would argue more ops-focused firms would actually be better (McK, BCG, etc.)

Hi all, I have a solid background in social media, but have also dabbled in paid media, SEO, etc. I thought having a lot of skills would open more doors for me to get out of social… but now it seems I’m not specific enough based on jobs I’m seeing and my lack of interviews. What is your experience? Have I spread myself thin? Do I look unfocused? Should I have 5 different resumes for each skill?
