I was working as a strategy consultant, largely in life sciences, for 2 years up until January. Looking to go into M&A CDD roles (open to sectors, but my background is in life sciences), and I have been completing the WSP Accounting, Financial Analysis, and Financial & Valuation Modelling (DCF, LBO, Comps & M&A) courses. Any tips/advice on making the transition, or companies/people to reach out to? Happy to go entry-level to make the transition work.

OC&C is running experienced hire programmes every 6 months - you go in as an experienced Associate Consultant (equivalent to someone who's been here for 1.5 years) and aim to get to Consultant (big pay bump) within a year. Applications just closed but it'll start again later this year
