How to move from technology consulting into management consulting? Currently, I am working as SAP functional consultant with 5 YOE. Also, pursuing distance MBA program (Pgdbm) from Symbiosis. My goal is to get into MBB firms.

Your post is sad/funny/motivating at the same time. Being an MBA grad(full time) from a tier 2 MBA college even we people dont dare to dream of going to MBB. It is exclusive for ABC guys or people with very deep Partner level references. Your talent dont mean squat for them.

Still I wish you all the luck. Hope u make itđź‘Ť

Maybe for the BB , McKinsey is a regular hirer from Big4s

Distance MBA will not be recognised that much in those firms. You would need two steps.. first move to a Big 4 & then try for those firms.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?

My knowledge is self taught but I feel like I'm missing out on the basics and to move into something like Data Management my current role it's more about fixing problems and writing procedures (which I enjoy). Any advice on how to start with data management/ training so that I can move into a more standard, better paid career eventually?

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
