Hi! I’m looking to move into management consulting, preferably one of the big 3. I’m currently an experienced audit manager at EY. Are those firms doing layoffs/hiring freezes? Any insight would be appreciated!

Transitioning to MC from audit can be difficult. Might have to go for your MBA. Even then, the big 3 (MBB) are extremely competitive and an mba form a top tier mba program doesn’t guarantee a job at MBB. It’s a difficult path but doable if you are willing to put in the time and money

PAS and PI. No? Maybe EY Parthenon too

Either networking or mba. You rlly need a mba to break in

It’s been really hard to keep my head up after what feels like endless rejection. Received a no today about position I really wanted. The interviews felt so genuine and I was even told I’d be a good fit. Ultimately it just seems that my experience isn’t translating, which really sucks when you feel stuck in your current role and want to make a transition. I’m so eager to keep learning. Would love to connect with any brand/account directors to get some advice.
