Side note: I've just picked up my like 100th group food/coffee order. Not sure how I can ever escape if my work constantly consists of booking rooms, picking up food, taking notes, drafting emails, and the like
Also, I've heard "PMO" is a dirty word and you should avoid saying it at all costs when you're being interviewed. Is that true?
If all you e ever done is implementation work, that’s generally not what the industry strategy folks are looking for experience wise. Not sure how often that resume is gonna be able to make it work for an interview let alone an offer. They want strategy experience, not implementation experience.
Demonstrable evidence of strategy output. What have you published? Who are references that can advocate for your strategy capabilities?
In short, show vs. tell
I moved into a Corp Strat role from D. Everyone else on my team is MBB but I haven’t noticed any bias in hiring or since I stared. Granted I was part of our Monitor SL and did actual strategy work so I have the skill set they were looking for. It sounds like you don’t have the right skill set for the jobs you’re applying for. If you actually do then you need to make sure you’re communicating it properly. And yes don’t say PMO. Most industry companies have PM organizations and the people in those roles probably make half of what you make so you probably don’t want that association.
Ugh I've actually worked on a couple strategy projects but I wanted to know how screwed I would be if they're "not enough" and I never do another one because I am absolutely miserable and exhausted right now. Very done with consulting life.
It sounds like business school would be the only viable option if I'm not able to get a job now.
Business schools don’t like pmo either 😉
