My background is mostly internal strategy work, and I’m realizing that external-facing strategy roles often seem to favor people who came from consulting. I can do the work, but I’m not sure if that gap matters once hiring starts. Did anyone move into strategy from a less traditional path and find that companies cared less than expected?

Started in Internal Strategy, moved to Tier 1.5 consulting, now back in industry - it’s very different. Internal strategy roles don’t have the same hiring bar that consulting roles do.

Pound for pound if there was someone from a consulting sweat shop, you know they’re used to working harder.
