Is the strategy& brand worth anything in terms of exits? I am having a really hard time finding exit opportunities that will pay over $200k. (Currently a mgr with 8 YOE)

I left this year. Had no problem finding opps that pay >$200k. I was targeting internal strategy roles and the vast majority of the teams were comprised of ex-MBB. Other than some pride for their specific company, they didn't seem to think there's much difference between camdidates from MBB/S&/OW.

Sure. Go ahead.

Lots of recruiters mention S& on their messages so i know that recruiters who specialize in consultants’ exits recognize the brand. Among F500 HR probably not as much.

If you look up S& alums on LinkedIn you will see half of them put “formerly Booz&Co”… this will be recognizable to a lot more people among senior leadership

Find this hard to believe S& is a top top top consulting shop. For people in the know I.e. half the hiring managers in industry who do corporate strategy, there is no way they do not know what S& is

Not sure what’s your expertise/industry background, assuming strat/Ops/M&A/digital, or even implementation. In any case, you need to work with the right recruiters then. I have 5 YOE I’m getting calls for roles at other T2, boutiques and PE Ops/PortCo for $200k+

It could be OPs industry? Are you in a low paying industry? If so probably could brand yourself as a strategy generalist and apply into higher pay industries

Really depends on who the hiring manager is. If they’re an ex strategy consultant they likely know it.

When I have candidates interview with other departments though, the name carries little weight unless you add PWC and then people know.

On the real, do you put PwC or PricewaterhouseCoopers? I currently have PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP: Strategy& as the employer.

Maybe it’s my young opinion, but doesn’t everyone recognize PwC? I recognized the name when I was in high school. Does it need to be spelled out?

I have Strategy&, party of the PwC Network on my resume. Maybe that’s it? Should I put PwC Strategy& first?

Maybe they think you'll not take the role seriously and just party too much.

funny

I don’t think it’s the brand. The brand is strong

Not sure what is happening. I am not getting a lot of recruiters reaching out to me except for positions that are under $200k in total comp.

I also have an M7 MBA.

I don’t have a ton of information about my roles on my LinkedIn profile. Maybe that’s it?

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter?
