How to transition firms to MBB from Big 4/ACN when you don’t really have a connection there? Randomly connect with people on LinkedIn at the office you’re interested in and hope for a referral? Can I reach out to a recruiter at the firm directly there? Currently in Tech Consulting but wanting a shift in career path to strategy or tech strategy. Currently have almost two YOE and wanting to gain insight into the process and how long that may take

Develop or expand a tangible / marketable skill set where (1) you are by far the best at what you do, and (2) is in a defined growth area for MBB where they would seek you out vs the other way around

It would sure help if you were in Accenture strategy, doing strategy. Vs tech consulting which is quite different from strategy.

The folks that I know who jumped from Accenture to BCG were in Accenture strategy not tech consulting. Those doing true strategy work are able to relate their work, and tend to case better. BCG1 do you know many that have jumped from tech consulting? Personally I don’t but perhaps I’m jaded by my dataset.
