Hi guys,
Do strategy consulting verticals at T2 consulting also do PMO? I recently am seeing a shift, have appeared for interviews at 2 T2 orgs and both the interviewers told that they have shifted the focus on implementation and PMO since it ropes in more revenue.
Currently I have done both Strategy and PMO projects, find PMO to be extremely boring and repetitive.
Apart from the usual MBB, Kearney and OW since I have a tier 2 MBA, what other firms exist in India that do strategy consulting?

ZS does strategy projects

Yes, they do. I have seen PMO kind of assignments in 1.5 and 2 tier organizations. Mostly it depends on vertical, partner.

In tier 2, there is no strategy consulting role. They do PMO work only

like

Even small clients prefer MBB and few boutique consulting (1.5 tier) for strategy case

It maybe anyone - Big 4, ACN..all do PMO work only

I've seen strategy engagements in ACN. There are boutique firms which do strategy as well.
Apart from that it's mostly MBB

Yes they do. Mostly depends upon SBU and Partner.

Can anyone please refer for PMO role here

DM me only if you are from Mumbai

I had interviewed with EY Parthenon and few others, my notion was they do strategy since the name of the vertical had strategy in it. But the interviewers said they majorly do PMO. I was quite bummed.

Have been in PMO role and it is repetitive.
How to get out of this role (more than a year now)
Also there is fear of being on bench as pipeline could be slow

Look for internal and external opportunities who do only strategy work. Your director and manager, eventually Partner, are not able to convert good assignments on regular basis and that's the reason you've been in PMO role for long.

Any other please reply for PMO opening
