How difficult is it to move from Technology Consulting to Strategy Consulting i.e. EY P. I have an interest in the area but not sure whether this is the right move, given the current economy. Would you recommend? Why or Why not?

I looked into this before, and it seems the general consensus boils down to two options:
1. Knowing someone or networking your way in
2. Pivoting by getting a top 25 mba

Not the easiest but it seems that networking is feasible, there are plenty of people with the “right” background and experience that are interested in strategy however so the barrier to entry is pretty high for an outsider. Not sure about intercompany switching since I see you’re at EY however.. happy hunting!

Thank you for your responses. That’s very helpful

I did it through networking but it took over a year and I entered just at the end of the consulting market peak, so was also a “right time” effect too

This is for EYP-Strategy. I had to do a couple of case interview rounds (and pass) before the transfer could be approved. Currently, we are not really hiring as we are struggling to grow. This was not an issue when I joined

Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t be necessarily grow my network, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
