Bain & Company Has anyone moved from a big 4 strategy and transactions role to MBB strategy? If anyone has advice on how to make the jump at a manager level - any advice would be appreciated.

Are there any skills or certifications that would matter as a manager, if we're applying to MBB?

McKinsey & Company , Boston Consulting Group , Bain & Company or other boutique strategy firms

MBB doesn't care about certifications. Network, interview well, and you're in.

Was at EYP at the associate level, probably not exactly what you are looking but can answer any questions.

But yeah, network a bit, get a referral, do well in the interviews and you should be set

Certifications will have you laughed out of the room. Tangible work experience and a keen sense for hypothesis-driven strategic thinking will get you the job!
