If you want to do real "strategy" (very different from what strategists and planners at agencies do), then get a MBA from a Top 10 Business School.

If you still want to do agency style work integrated in a consultancy, there's a lot of "agency style" groups or studios at top firms.

Start by teaching out to the studio teams at consulting companies - like Deloitte digital has a rich studio team spread across the globe . From there you can work your way into consulting projects and switch to consulting . McKinsey has McKinsey digital , Accenture has Accenture interactive and so on and so forth .. good luck !

As everyone knows rents right now are super low. My current apartment in other units is going for about 30% less than what I'm paying. I've been in the same unit for 3 years but can't justify paying as much as I am. I also don't want to move. Anyone think I can drop the rent by 30% I've never been able to get that low. But we've never had a situation like this.

For those consultants out there ... have you found it valuable to have a formal certification for Digital Transformation Change mgmt? What do you feel is the most valuable/marketable certification?

Question on changing roles: a friend of mine did not pass the final round at BCG for an associate position, due to not having as much relevant experience as the other candidates. However, they are interested in him and will likely offer him a research position. Does anybody know whether it is likely that you can switch from a research role to a consulting role? Very interested to learn if anyone has experienced this :)
