It’s about finding a senior partner you know at your target firms, schmoozing and sliding in by holding on to their coat tails...I used to think entry into management consulting is meritocracy...recent examples show otherwise...

Switch off the bulb now. It might get too heated 🤣

You need to bring a distinct value prop/IP which has a strong future and can get alteast $XXM ARR for the firm.

Recently, Big4 and MBB have been poaching such exec in the fields of data science AI ML cybersecurity.

And those of you who come from the partnership model should not be so offended with the use of the term “staff”.

If you have a good book of transferable work, think 5 million a year, and good client relationships then I would try to find ways of connecting with senior partners at those firms. There isn’t going to be a formal application process

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
