I’m a business consultant in Finance competency focusing on ERP transformation and operating model design. I believe i should be on track for promotion in the fall... should i lateral to a T2 (S&, LEK, OW). Long term goals range from working at Start-ups to corporate strategy to growth equity

Any move to a T2 or something that is better than EY consulting brand will help your career is my opinion. Brand does matter. So if this move can help you get better opportunities I’d do it. Time it right, get the M first unless you really want to leave soon

And if i lateraled, id start over as a level 1 associate

An associate at S& makes more than sc/m at EY, and the perceived vale from T2 will be much better, it’s a no brainer, given if you’ve already secured the offer.

LEK opens all of these doors for you. The catch is if you come in, you will start with new grads but will have a faster promotion timeline if you do perform well

I was at Big 4 consulting for a year before lateraling to ACN recently. It’s been about 6 months at ACN. Now I have an industry offer for Product Manager, which has been my eventual goal. Would it be too soon to jump? Or should I stick around for better exits in a couple of years may be? I’m worried the frequent changes won’t look good on my resume
4 YOE overall, TC at Product Manager is about 20-25k > ACN.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.
