Currently a first year manager at a T2 firm starting the process of interviewing for Oliver Wyman, which I would say is also T2. I have about 6 YOE spent all in consulting (some time at Big 4 included). My background is very close to what the role is looking for but unsure of what level to strive for - Associate or Engagement Manager?

I would aim for EM, since that is usually at around the ~5-6yr experience range. I’m pushing for ASC and I’m around 3-4 yr tenure - managing work-streams and 1-2 people.

If you want to start a bit lower you can start at ASC and get a mid-year promotion to EM.

like

I’d argue to start at ASC since this person would be an experienced hire and will need time to learn how OW does things. If they kill it then they will get promoted, rather than setting themselves up for failure

like

OW is garbage at incorporating experienced hires. The vast majority of the partnership started their careers at OW and have never worked elsewhere. I’ve almost never seen someone come in as an EM and thrive. Even associate is risky. Good luck.

Why is associate risky?

Does anyone have advice about interviewing somewhere with bad Yelp/google reviews? Is it OK to ask about it in an interview?

How much attention should one pay to this when looking for a new firm at which to work?

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
