I don’t even have an undergrad 😉

Expert hire with strong entrepreneurial background. I sit in digital. Hasn’t been discussed since joining the firm.

It’s not common, but we’re definitely working on making it easier for qualified people without MBAs to enter.

Laterals with needed industry experience, PhDs, and individuals into specialized consulting groups like Advanced Analytics.

I am currently working for a city and have been with my current position for about a year. Work-life balance and colleagues are great. I came from private practice prior to my current position. There’s a strong demand for laterals now; and I am thinking about going back to private practice because current salary is substantially lower (about 40% lower) than what I can get in private practice. Has anyone here thought about going back to private practice for the salary boost?

Any ideas what this could be? I’m a bit nervous and don’t know if I should reach out to my recruiter to ask her?
