has anyone made the jump from strategy to HC? i’m really interested in transitioning to a role that’s more people-oriented, but not really sure where to start.

never really had the opportunity to do anything in the HC space at bain, so i’m just curious how others have positioned themselves.

Try to enroll into org design project in Bain

Shouldn't be too difficult to jump from MBB to HC at B4. I'm sure you can sell your experience pretty easily. HC is less complex than many of the projects you guys get.

Don’t do it

@EY1 just curious, why not? Is it the type of work, exit opps, comp?

Likely the biggest thing that people are hesitant about with HC Consulting is the exit ops aren’t as good as strategy, especially compared to MBB.
I don’t see a drastic difference in comp from HC to S&O all else equal.

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Have never really considered account management / anything with a sales target, but I like money.

Can anyone relate? If I’m stressed out, I can’t focus on my tasks because my productivity is driven by creative and explorative thought. When I’m stressed or anxious, my mind doesn’t have the room or space to think freely to get things done, and I end up bouncing around different tasks not getting anything done. And then there’s the whole dopamine addiction issue with doing a small amount of work then hopping on social media because you feel like you need the reward. Just me?
