Implementation gets a bad rap. Our implementation folks get paid the same, promote the same, and do a ton of overlapping work with our generalists. They just staff on more ops heavy projects and tend to do more client facing work. Also, more emphasis on work experience than academic pedigree in hiring

I wouldn't call it project management, and I would say that it's work that's always been done, just not with a formalized role/title. I see it as a response to the general shift in consulting in general. Pure "strategy" work is less valuable as the speed of change in business increases. 10 years ago there was much more value in a final deliverable being a binder that detailed a 5 year plan for the business unit. Today that's frequently obsolete in 6 months. What clients are increasingly asking for is for us not to leave after building the plan, but to stay on board and help them adjust/adapt the plan as it moves forward. That's the idea behind our implementation practice.

Yep. It's not implementation work as big 4 or Accenture would do and that's not how it's sold or what it competes with. Our implementation people work in small teams like strat folks. It's sold as part of a long term business transformation generally, so we'll package analytics, strat and implementation. The idea is that we steer the implementation process, not that we physically do the work. Sort of the same way BTO is our IT practice but doesn't actually do IT work...it helps develop an IT strategy

OP aren't you a strategy consultant? Why go into implementation

Thanks McK 1, that's my understanding and I'm glad you affirmed it. Most of what I do today is around strategy implementation. I'd like to stretch my legs with a new role that combines consulting and aerospace.

@McK1, pay is the same even at the EM and above levels? If so, how do you guys justify higher bill rates to the client for implementation work?

Mmm, would you say then it's more along the lines of project management? If so, who's doing the actual implementation? Also, was that function previously done by McKinsey management consultants?

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
