Has anyone here successfully transitioned from a Management Consulting role to a Corp. Development? How’d you do it & what do they usually look for in Consultants (that they won’t find in bankers)?

I have the same question :) Do you mind sharing your experience with me as well?

I did it. They recruit pretty aggressively from MBB

Non-MBB perspective - I’ve found the best luck targeting groups that have combined Strategy and Corp Dev groups that are looking to balance out their teams with both consultants and bankers. While you might get less pure exposure to deals, you’re still closer than you might be otherwise.

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they aren’t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?
