Interviewing for a director role and spoke with the headhunter. He said the role reports to a VP who is looking for a strategic thought partner. What do I need to showcase when I speak with this VP?

The responses on this thread thus far are why I love FB

Would be good for you to have a perspective on how you develop strategy (i.e. how do you develop industry perspectives and turn that into strategic insight). Basically just regurgitate how BCG thinks about developing strategy.

Ask questions, frame problems, assess materiality, come up with a hypothesis for a solution framework, test, review, repeat

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
