OP — Oliver Wyman as well. And I’m not sure how “prestigious” Slalom is but I’ve heard they pay well and have great WLB

“Best” is pretty subjective but you can Google “consulting firms” and you’ll see their rankings. Everyone will say their firm is the best.

Consulting is for the birds.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking to build a career within the ESG consulting and strategy space. I am in a career transition phase and have a tax consultancy background from a Big 4 for 5+ years. However, I believe I have gained some skills that are transferable to ace at ESG consulting as well. While I am still in the process of upskilling myself and gaining the required knowledge, could you help me with referring my CV or with some leads?

I am a Manager at a big 4 international tax considering switch to M&A Tax in another big 4 or a prestigious firm International Tax group but with more structure work. Which one is better for a long-term plan (~2 years) of going to private with a mid/upper management position that is not compliance oriented? As for me, I was heavy on compliance until recent and wanted to focus on getting planning experience and management skills forward. I am a CPA and an attorney, but not a JD.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Considering jumping to a boutique SF consulting firm from Big 4. Comparable pay + equity, but of course it doesn’t have the cachet of a big 4. Think it’s worth the risk given the potential upside?

Any side hustle ideas? Big 4 compensation is a joke and will be a joke in the next few years 🙃
