I am currently an associate in RAS with 1 year of experience. I am interested in transitioning to a strategy/management consultancy when the market improves. How difficult will it be to make this transition and when is the best time to make it - wait until after senior promotion?

Classic answer - it all depends. What was your role in risk advisory? Were you on consulting/advisory type engagements or were you an auditor?

Strategy and management consulting involves a lot of taking unstructured problems, structuring them into a readable format that the client and stakeholders can understand, and providing/assisting with a path forward. Risk advisory also has components of this, so if you were involved in these types of projects in risk advisory, you’d have a shot at being successful in management consulting as well.

I did this move from Risk into the Tech Strategy practice. Given market conditions I moved back due to LIFO.

Transition can be difficult due to conditions mentioned above. However, would recommend showcasing your ability in Risk 2-3 years than making the pivot.

Hello All,

Thoughts on the "fake it til you make it" mentality in career growth? Regarding a Front End Developer role.

I passed the HR screen, did an interview with who would be my) supervisor and the team lead, and am now doing a coding test.

I am familiar enough with the language (React) and pushing updates to Git in order to complete the test, but I'm afraid when I do a panel with the team to review my design, I'll end up making a fool of myself.

I've never been so excited yet so nervous for a role.
