Hi all. I’m relocating internationally to DC this December. My background is in management consulting most recently in the government and energy sectors. I’m Australian but lived abroad since 2009. Can anyone share contacts or methods on getting a foot in the door with the big 4 (or similar) consulting firms?

I’m sorry mate but you’re gonna have a hard time.

Paths into consulting in the US are limited to campus and need-based experienced hiring.

You have experience, but there’s currently no demand because the markets are terrible right now with limited signs of improvement in the near term.

A bit out of my depth on this one, but I’d venture to say that foreign gov consulting isn’t worth much in the US. Likely similar for energy.

I wish you the best of luck. Not trying to shoot you down. Just seems like rough timing and angle.

Thanks for the perspective. My wife is moving with a job (not consulting) so I’m looking at options for myself. Will keep hunting. Cheers.

Hi, I’m just seeing your post. Have you found something yet? If not, I might be able to help you with some resources. I moved to the US last year.

Hi. Thanks for the offer to help. Actually our relocation has been delayed to Q4 2024. I’m still looking online and always better to reach out to contacts directly. I also would be interested in your move to the US. Cheers 🙏

I am in the same boat. German national, 4 years of digital transformation experience working for the German government and Middle Eastern clients and moving to D.C. soon.

Any more details on how the consulting market is currently?

Hi fishes

Actually there is one management group based in kolkata. They are offering me vendership for call center executive. But they are asking initial 1k per candidates for the insurance purposes. Insurance for assets they are providing like Mobile etc .

But I didn't connected with them via linkdin only. Can I trust them or they might be the fake one. I'm in very big confusion guys. I needed your suggestions.

Thanks in advance
