Hey McK, BCG and Bain, do you value a consultant/sr consultant who had two years of PMO experience with global firms? Or you wouldn’t even consider this person?

It turns out the only thing we look at is whether your firm is global, so you’re good

OP - honestly, no one cares about PMO, it’s a highly commoditized skill. Global firm becomes secondary of your core value prop is PMO

Hey they hired me so they'll hire just about everyone. :D Yes, you'd be considered. It may be harder to get recruited as an experienced hire vs. undergrad/MBA though.

Here’s a step by step guide:
1) Over invest in finding someone senior in MBB who can refer you
2) Please work on messaging your value prop properly. “2 years PMO at a global firm” won’t even let you come into the lobby. Dig deeper and work with you referee to craft something better
3) Maybe do some non PMO stuff and pray the stars align come game time. It’s going to be a tough stretch

Hmm. I was wondering what is the best way to present my business case to make myself an attractive candidate?

Was afraid that by saying the initial statement, it makes me look a run of the mill consultant and an instant rejection.

4. Go to b school, and recruit

McK 1 - Can you expand on 1). How do you invest in finding someone senior who is willing to refer?

Thank you for all the helpful responses! Especially McK1&2. Have a good day everyone!

I switched to my current role with the verbal agreement that I would be third teir support - there will always be someone else between the customer and me. I recently found out that a new distributor doesn't want to stand up a support desk to do that for at least a year, leaving my team as first point of contact if anything goes wrong with a system.

Am I in a position where I can ask to renegotiate my compensation, even through I don't have a written job description?
