Yes, absolutely - please apply!

A couple things of note - it’s really tough to move in as a generalist. Go on our website, find the service line that aligns most to your experience (functional: supply chain, M&A, sales and marketing; or industry: healthcare, etc), tailor your resume to demonstrate expertise in that specific area, and then leverage Google / linked in / fishbowl to get your resume in front of a recruiter or consultant in that service line.

Our goal in broadening the pool for our applicants is to find people who have developed strong expertise (even if only at the junior levels) and are the absolute top performers wherever they’ve been thus far. Those are the sorts of people we can further develop.

Please note that a lot folks moving from other firms find they are leveled down one level.

Best of luck!

Of course. Also, just to clarify - the alignments I gave where just top-of-head examples, not saying you specifically should target those.

@D1- I do not, sorry. Reach out to someone in that area to find out.
