Has anyone made the move from Big 4 Consulting to a platform tech company like Alteryx, UiPath, Celonis, etc? Any insights as to whether you’re happy with the transition?

Left B4 consulting for Celonis - echo KPMG 1 that the role is more broad than other tech companies just cause there’s no red tape stopping you from being a jack of all trades, on the flip you can still be a specialist if that’s what you want. I’m personally super happy with the transition - technical skills I’ve picked up since joining have put me miles ahead career wise but that’s what drove me out of B4, knowledge a mile wide but an inch deep.

Tough crowd!

Any thoughts on this? Considering a similar move and would be interesting in hearing the perspective of others who made the change.

Going to any of the ones I mentioned in the post?

Currently considering similar exits, I think there’s a lot of opportunity for growth in these types of companies given their current size, potential for an acquisition, and the roles still being slightly broader than much larger tech companies

Hi all,
I’m currently a junior doctor in an intensive care in London. I’m hoping to make a career switch over to consulting. I’ve done research, but struggling to find an initial landing spot in consulting. Does anyone have advice about making the switch from medicine? Where should I start/aim for? For reference I graduated 3 years ago and am currently studying an MSc in Global Health Policy at LSHTM. Thanks!

Is there anyone who can someone refer me to a associate product management position. I hold a 1 year 7 months of experience.

Reason of switch:
Major reason for getting a product role- it has always been a dream to me, this profile suits me, hence I've applied, other reasons, My life has led me to be a creative thinker, being always curious and need of constant learning. The first reason for change is I'm not getting challenged in a way I want to, where I could be creative and innovation.
