Currently 2 YOE in process improvement consulting, thinking about trying to lateral to MBB. What should I be considering to ensure this is the right decision for me (worse WLB is not an issue), and does anyone have any advice re: what my story should highlight if I do choose to try to make the jump?

Highlight whatever aspects of your job have the most implementation strategy components to it

McKinsey at least has an implementation arm that’s pretty much same as “normal” consulting! And yes you should highlight those things for sure, but if you do that within something strategy related vs. idk onboarding some new tool it will be more beneficial. They’re not mutually exclusive, you see what I’m saying? So like something flashy you did while you were trying to figure out a good strategy to implement a brand new expensive product would be best, if that makes sense
