I want to quit bc I'm stuck doing work I hate (risk) and want to go to another Big 4. I have 1.5 years of XP and am due for a promotion soon. Is it fair to apply for a senior role?

I did it. Just apply to MC at another firm and talk about how you have skills that can be transferred

like

You have 0% shot at moving into a strategy role from risk...and a senior role in traditional MC will also be rather difficult. It is possible though to switch to MC by moving to another firm, but will most likely come in as an experienced associate

Something else. I would love to stay at EY and work in PI but there are strong forces working against me in that endeavors

What practice are you interested in? I think your best bet is to identify a specific practice (based on past exp, certs, sector, skills/degree) and figure out what practice in PI best aligns. After that, network your ass off and keep bugging managers, SM and partners within the practice until you work on an engagement. Strategically communicate your intention with your counselor and peers to gauge support. If your current BU says no, then you won't be able to move (at least that's what I understand)

I applied to tech consulting. I do tech strategy and functional roles on implementations

There are several practices I'm interested in including strategy, customer, and supply chain. And I actually do have a pretty solid network in those and engagement opportunities came up in the competencies I want to work in but I was "strongly encouraged" to work on a project within risk because it was long term utilization. Hence why I'm trying to leave

like

Those are probably the hardest teams to switch into from anywhere, not to mention a different subservice line

like

Ignore any strong encouragement if you really hate risk. It won't matter in the long run

Agreed with EY3, your best option is to move to another big 4

Do you want a senior role in risk or something else?

@K1 did you apply for a more operations consulting role or strategy consulting? My initial thought is that it would be more difficult to move directly to strategy

Want to get a sense check. Typical English firm salaries in London are about 70% Cravath (unless you're at one of the US firms that benchmarks to Cravath scale offices). 2PQE is around 165k USD + 30k bonus assuming 1800 billables. So comparing at a firm where you roughly bill 1900-2000 a year, you lose out, but if you bill 2200+, that's comparable?

Thinking aloud here - if you can find that 2000-billing firm, no sense staying in that payscale unless you have a shot at equity?
