Does a promo to Senior Consultant really help with exit opps to other consulting firms?

you might think so, but actually, they prefer people who are less capable and experienced. people love when lateral hires come in asking “what is a VLOOKUP?” and “what deck? he likes to play cards?”

they relish the opportunity to mentor such fresh and endearing candidates, and think nothing of the idea that promotion might indicate a track record of success.

I left one B4 and joined another B4 as an SC. Since becoming an SC, I’ve been approached by other companies for Senior, Manager, and Director level positions. Your mileage may vary but it’s been good in my book.

Hi fishes,

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
