Currently at S& and looking to make a lateral exit to MBB... what's the best approach? Should I be looking to peers for referrals? Are these firms even hiring right now? If I were to be recently promoted at S&, will I be able to lateral to the new firm at the promoted level? Or will they likely push me back one level? Any insight would be extremely helpful 🙏🙏

You don’t need a referral. Just apply. Yes, they’re hiring. You should be able to move at the promoted level if you’ve been there for a couple months

Wondering all the same things! LinkedIn not entirely clear as it looks like most job postings are for specialist-type tracks. Possibly mostly focused on campus recruitment rn?

How can you work at S& and want to work at the best consulting firms in the world and still be asking these questions?
Should I look for a referral, are these firms hiring… what planet do you live on?
