I want to leave consulting for a strategy role (committing 2 years, or staying through one promotion) at tech but assessing if it hurts chances of landing PE Ops roles down the line (vs just staying at MBB). Appreciate inputs

I think depending on what the role actually entails it may hurt more than it helps. Strategy roles very different from PE Ops work and pace / challenge in tech seen lower as in MBB.

You need to be at least doing transformation type work. If it’s just delivering decks, then probably less helpful.

The feedback I got from recruiters before I left MBB was getting any sort of operational/industry experience would be helpful (vs the perception of only having consulting experience)

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or just want to network in general let me know. I would love to connect!
