Hi! Interviewing with the HR at Strategy& for the financial services- senior associate position. Wanted to get a better understanding of the types of projects the team usually works on- I come from an internal consulting background in Fin Services so wanted to get a better understanding to highlight my most pertinent experience! Appreciate the help.

I interviewed there - seems like their focus is around Growth strategy / CDD, Cost optimization and enterprise strategy. I’m sure there’s others, but the recruiting team will really want to know what “pure strategy” experience you really have. Feel free to DM with any questions on the process

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
