Yes. Typically looking to fill holes in practices that have grown faster than they can fill organically.

Looking for strong consulting skill set at the appropriate level plus depth in that specific practice area. Helpful to be able to grow the business based on relationships and reputation, especially above Principal.

Typically involves lots more Partner and Senior partner interviews for AP+ roles. The bar is extremely high to come in directly as an AP (if coming from a Tier 2 consulting firm, should have been a Partner there etc)

Poll: would you choose working at MBB for 2 years or having an M7 MBA for long term exit opps and earnings?

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
