Are you hoping to join MBB as a data scientist or as a consultant?

Looks like QuantumBlack is your best bet since you’re not looking for management consulting. They’re an org under the mckinsey name that hires data engineers/data scientists.

You’ll still get a mckinsey email if you’re mainly pursuing the name btw

How does one most effectively make the transition into management from an Individual Contributor?

I've been an individual contributor for 4 years in Tech, have 8 years of experience total. I'm finding it difficult to make the management transition despite having management experience, performing beyond expectations, and having a genuine passion for enablement and development.

I'd appreciate any success stories or pointers you can offer in regards to this transition.

For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
