Hey all, l’m looking at pivoting my career from engineering design (such a mental drain) to management consulting. Sort of in a tough position as my experience resembles that of a consultant (but focused on transportation projects). Anyone willing to provide some insight on what MBB and Big 4 look for at when moving over?

Are u assuming managment consulting won’t….. be a mental drain…? Or … are u looking for a change in pace and/or a new challenge? How you phrase your goals is important and Imo the way you phrased this makes it seem like you believe management consulting will be “easier” than what you’re doing now.

Reminds me of how engineering students in college on north campus made fun of central campus kids for being focused on humanities instead of stem and they thought humanities classes were easier than their 🚀 engineering 💥 classes lol.

Apologies, I mean I know it’ll be a drain, somewhat, but looking for a change in pace (go go go); I realised my interests lie and goals align within management consulting.

I feel like every role I apply for they see “engineer” and automatically disqualify me, although I have 4 YOE in AM/strategy. I’m just in the wrong company lol.

I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??
