Hi all! Need some advice

TL,DR: I joined PwC 4 months ago but don't want to do Supply Chain. When can I begin applying elsewhere w/o looking like a jumper

-Graduated in May 2019
⬇️
-Joined Deloitte for a year from June 2019 - August 2020 (hated the IT work, I wanted LS Consulting)
⬇️
-Joined a boutique consulting firm for 6 months contract from Dec 2020 - June 2021 (role was financial clients compliance/controls)
⬇️
-Joined PwC as Pharma Supply Chain Associate from August 2021 to now.

Sheeit I got turned down from that pharma supply chain job with a supply chain consulting background & they hired someone who doesn’t even wanna do supply chain smh.
But to answer your question, if you are able to get into another big4/tier2 it won’t matter long term. Just say it wasn’t as good of a fit as you’d hoped. LEK peeps seem to be pretty eager to hand out referrals around here lately.

-I was sr. consultant when I applied last year & the posting was listed under an associate/sr associate catch all

I’m not actually upset, that was just one role I had applied for where I thought I’d be a shoe in for at least a phone screen and didn’t even make it that far, so it’s funny seeing it pop up here under this context. Landed a different role in the end that was a better fit, so no need for referral OP, but thank you!

For reference, I want to do LS Strategy Consulting through LEK or ZS. LEK is my dream company though, it excites me to no end.

PWC 1 - How long did it take LEK to get back to you after the final round?

Just out of curiosity- didn't you know you were getting into supply chain?

Show some career growth so at least a level if you can

TIA!

I think I’m doing great, but that depends on the day and who I work with (no other writers by the way).
