For those that have switched from MC to Strat, how did you go about it and what are the pros/cons of the switch? Doesn't have to be ACN-specific

Lol @ people who join acn for strat. 🙄

@OP most common way is to get on a strategy project, or on one of the big joint MC/Strat projects. ZBB is perfect for this as they're usually split 60-40 or 50-50 with MC, and are long projects (12-18 months). You can get a lot of time to network with strategy MDs, and can leverage for the transfer if you make a good impression.
