Hey fishes!
Hope you are well! I am soon to graduate from UCD Smurfit and am looking at getting into the consulting space! I have had a brief experience in data analytics based Marketing and have been part of various Consulting Projects through UCD! Would love your opinion on how I could better my position here in Ireland and get into roles at the Big 4! I can assure that I bring value to the table!

I am currently studying for an MSc in Strategic Management at UCD, with a current grade of 2.1. My aim is to achieve a 1.1 grade by the end of my 3rd semester. I hold an undergraduate degree in Bachelors in Commerce, where I graduated with first-class honors, scoring 9.1 out of 10. Throughout my professional career, spanning 3.5 years, I have gained experience in Business Development and Client Servicing roles, providing support to both Marketing and IT departments in various SAAS, Wholesale, and Retail organizations based in India. My primary goal is to enter the strategy building and business consulting arena, although I am also open to exploring other opportunities. What sets me apart is my strong drive to grow companies and initiate projects. I have co-founded two non-profit organizations, which have been successfully running for 6 years, aimed at helping students better understand their career paths. In addition, I have co-founded a startup in the wholesale business sector in India, which is currently being managed by my brother. At UCD, I have showcased the same passion and drive, leading consulting projects in Africa and working with real-time clients from Ireland and the UK.

What level is a senior Partner Solution Architect - SAP?

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?
