Hi Fishes, I'm trying to switch to Sustainability Consulting (MBB or Big 4) from Environmental/Engineering Consulting. The work I do now is very different and much more technical; however, the skills are pretty translatable. Could anyone shed any insight as to the work being done in this field? I've spoken to a few people at McK but would love to hear more to see if this would be worth pursuing. Thanks!

What do you actually want to accomplish in sustainability consulting? This practice - and the actual work - can look wildly different with different firms.

I've been wanting to try something new for a while and sustainability is the closest to what I do now but different enough that would satisfy this desire of working in something different. Ideally I would like to work in other aspects besides green house gas emission reduction which seems to be the subset area of choice for this type of consulting. Sanitation/access to clean water, natural resource management, green chemistry, and transformation to clean energy would be some of these other areas I'd like to explore.

This is interesting to me as well. I work for USAID, so seems like it could be a natural step back into the private sector.

Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
