I just started a new job search after layoff from Accenture Strategy. I have 4 years strategy experience in telco (acn) and 1 year management experience at federal clients (deloitte). I've been applying to a lot. Firms like Oliver Wyman, Slalom, Pwc etc. Just wondering if anyone knows which firms are particularly hiring right now? Perhaps something more boutique and under the radar even? I'm not a fancy person with titles. Just want to make my empower proud! Any advice appreciated ❤️

Look at very small boutiques. The small shops that are in the 150-300 consultants range seem the be hiring like crazy. For example I never heard of Elixirr until several top performers left to go there.

Thanks for the tip!

What kind of work do you specialize in within the telco industry?

I didn't get particularly specialized. I was certainly in a lot testing pillars on big transformation programs but I was always in a strategy role within that. I was never executing tests etc. I was creating roadmaps for what the testing orgs should do and look like. I will keep doing that if it's where the money is but lord help me get out of that haha. I had a really cool gtm project involving autonomous vehicles and robotics. My brain was so useful in that innovation role. Design thinking, ideation, gtm, business case. It was my shortest project but my best performance

What type of strategy work did you do?

October 1st was first day. But I decided to take care of family who were dealing with covid issues. So I took off helping them from October 1 to about 1 week ago. I'm still helping them not 100 percent all in at the job hunt. LinkedIn and resume are tight. Interviewed a little so far. I think I'm on the right track but figured some awesome fishies here could take me to the next level 🧸🧸

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
