Big 4 Tech to MBB/Boutique Strategy. Who’s done it and how (preferably non MBA)?

To stay or go? Is it time to move on?
I've got 4 years at a staffing agency after getting Masters in HRM and making a complete career change in 2018. Doing full cycle recruiting and account management. I feel I'm doing very well (in the role and with comp $57 base + commission = ~$91k last year) BUT I feel stuck!! I'm feeling undervalued and unchallenged. I think I'd love corporate recruiting/TA Specialist, etc. How do I make the jump? Should I just keep truckin??

Hi All,

Need some career advice.

I have a year of experience in a clinical ops role where learning is quite stagnant. I’m eagerly looking to transition to good challenging opportunities in life science consulting/analytics and allied domains. Which organisations/startups/roles should one apply to being a non-technical applicant with a masters in biotechnology?

It would be really helpful to get your guidance on further course of action.

TIA!

I’m a junior full-stack developer. What job titles should I be looking at where I can use my skills?

Good afternoon everyone,

I am switching careers from Clinical Social Work into Project Management. I possess many transferable skills and a PM certification. I'd love a referral to PM roles at Google, Meta, Amazon or other Big Tech Companies. I'd also love to connect with other PMs in the tech space on LinkedIn if interested!

Someone willing to refer a Strategic Consultant, focusing on Financial Services, with almost 2 years' work experience? I'm 24 years old and the youngest student in my MBA's history.
I would like to work in a tech/Crypto company or in the investment field, ideally Venture Capital/ Private Equity. I am currently based in Italy but my brother is moving to Singapore for his wife and I would like to live close to him and build a future there. Help would be appreciated, thank you

Considering moving from BD/Partnerships in tech to Corporate Development. Has anyone here done it? Did you like the switch and do you have any pointers on getting in

Those who exited MBB, what were your options? I know I don’t want to stay in consulting and feel like trying industry soon. Most of my background is in finance and strategy.

Question for those of us that dabble across data science and not just excel. I want to get some good training on SQL. Anybody know the best certification program that has the best cache in the market?

Anyone in the Big 4 corporate finance / investment banking groups willing to DM. I have several questions about the position. TIA

I’m curious. What would you say is the best industry / sector for…1. WLB, 2. Great people / team, 3. Exit opp’s., and 4. Overall (mix of the above). Goes without saying the obvious “it depends on office, team, project, client, etc.” So this is an ask for general observations.

Anyone who has been through both rounds at MBB - does case difficulty get any harder between round 1 and 2? Or is it just the level of interviewer?

I have a $1200 stipend for learning at my work - Any suggestions from fellow Product Designers for recommendations?

I’m thinking so far about a UX writing course since we don’t have writers and I dictate the copy for elements as the designer.

International tax manager with 7 years experience all at KPMG. Thinking about switching to industry to see it from a new perspective and do similar work from a different angle. How do you successfully transfer B4 skills/experience to industry (how do you find the right fit?), and how do you continue to learn and build your skills so that you’re still marketable and could boomerang back if it doesn’t work out in a few years? Am I asking too much?

Alright this bowl has convinced me I need to buy a Rolex. Where do I begin? I know my brother got a Batman GMT after about a year at a jeweler he never purchased from a few years ago, but was he just lucky? Do I need a relationship with an AD in today’s market for a Sub or GMT? Based in Seattle but would prefer to buy in Oregon to avoid taxes

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada
