I dont think you can apply to their strategy group. I think you come in as a genralist and then later in life focus on things.

That being said their BTO practice (now called digital) seems to hire more experienced candidates that join that group directly

What does (did?) BTO stand for?

Business technology office

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!
