Has anyone made the transition from sustainability consulting to working in industry? Curious to hear how it went and what role you are. It seems like most corporate sustainability positions are at director or VP level and I’m wondering if that’ll change soon to bring in manager level or below

There are lots and lots of manager positions. Depending on what you do at EY, you should have a good shot

TONS of opptys out there. Plus: please LinkedIn to find new sustainability/ESG directors or VPs who are new to the role and seem to be building the capability internally for the first time. Network with them and you might find an opportunity that was never posted.

(I made the move to corp to lead a new capability - director level with senior director comp and hope for a promo within 12-18 months of joining.)

Hi all, I am a structural engineer looking to pivot to management consulting. I have a PhD in civil engineering and am a licensed PE. Currently I am not finding my profession fulfilling due to many barriers for progress. I have a strong statistics background and am looking to switch to a fast paced career in management consulting. Does anyone have any advice on the optimal way to pivot careers? Am I too late to switch? Should I get a career coach?
