Not too bad if you started in IB. Otherwise may want to try again in the next life

Yep, there’s a known phenomena where most PE firms only reach out to A’s at BCG even if they’re C’s in PIPE

IB or MBB/Tier 2 (harder for MF but MM or LMM possible)

Pretty hard unless you’re coming from IB or have PE experience prior to MBA. Had a friend from my MBA class with PE experience at a UMM fund and couldn’t land a VP job post b school

I think all of the ones in my practice that went were all from target schools.

McKinsey & Company Hi Fishes, Working as Process & Proposal Engineer for Air Pollution Control equipments for various industries. Total experience is approx. 10 years. Now want to switch my career into EY, KPMG, BCG, McKinsey etc. for salary hikes and role change. Please guide me in this regard. BE (Mech), PG (Thermal), MBA (Marketing) Accenture, EY, KPMG, McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Tata Consultancy, Capgemini, Cognizant

I don’t want to bore you with billing ?s and the usual inquiries from people who are thinking about making the switch but curious to know if any of you regret it and why.

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!
