Do it! In the process as we speak from ACN Strat to MBB, lateral move at level with huge pay jump

Management consulting?

Would it be correct to say that one must try to be staffed mostly on ZBx, cost cutting, target operating model, pricing projects to get a relevant experience to move to « proper » strategy consulting?

like

Nope. I don’t think they’re defining “proper” strategy consulting the way you are. I don’t think of ZB as that strategic, honestly. It gets very repetitive after the initial target area identification

like

So from the gathered answers, it’s more about form than content that the emphasis is put on when you want to do that kind of transition.

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!

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
