Hello,

I am a chemical engineer with over 20+years of experience in industry with process improvement using Lean six sigma black belt methodology. I am looking to transition into consulting in the later part of my career using to use six sigma methodology to solve business problems. Is there anyone who has made a similar transition in their career and can advise me on the best approach.I also have a masters along with my certificate. Thanks!

Hi - have you checked any of the career sites from the B4 firms? EY, KPMG, Deloitte, PwC? I’m not familiar with the process improvement roles, but you certainly sound like a fit for a strategy team. Also, when it comes time for you to submit your resume I recommend making it come off very consultingish.. explain different projects you worked on, your role, the results and your part in them etc.

You want the people interviewing you to be able to envision you in a consulting role. A lot of times experienced candidates will come in at a lower level because of the lack of consulting. However, i actually don’t think that’s a bad thing. If you’re getting paid what you want, why not give yourself time to acclimate. If it’s too easy, enjoy it for a year or two until you get promoted.

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
