Pathway to Strategy Consulting?

Accounting freshman, looking to get into strategy consulting at a Big 4 (U.S). Planning to get my MBA . Not interested in my CPA or FDD/Advisory.

What insight can you give me? What types of internships do I apply for?

I attend a community college and plan on transferring out my sophomore year. Non-target but still recognizable.

Thank you.

I work in field sales as an IC. My aspirational career path is to end up in people leadership. Recently, an Inside management position opened up that’s been brought to my attention by the hiring director. Question is, is going back Inside the right move to get into started in leadership? Or should I continue down the field path and wait until those field management slots open up?

I am a Reliability Maintenance 3P contractor for Amazon. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering on June 2022. I’ve been working with Amazon for a year, but there’s a lack of prospective EE positions within the company. The job postings I see are either less or barely above my current salary. I’m not sure if staying longer is beneficial for my future career as an Electrical engineer. I plan on getting my FE license within the next 6 months. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Hi All,

Can someone advise on how Incedo Inc. Is as company? Is that a startup? How is the job security? Payscale and WLB?

My friend is having 5+ years of db development/admin experience and is currently looking for a job in Kolkata (currently working for EY India government sector project where wlb is a joke).
Can any of you please help with a referral ?

Heard frm a friend at pwc that in consulting they have per diems. Is it for all practitioners and practice? Seems tight on budget.

Just dropped cold applications to Bain and McK with no referral. Ballsy or boneheaded move?

Anybody could refer me to Deloitte.
I'm happy to refer anyone to EY as well.
Thank you

I manage 2 physician practices and one is extremely toxic. To the point the dr sides with staff even when I am trying to make corrective actions when patient care is in jeopardy. My leadership is aware and knows I am keeping my distance from them. Just doing the necessary work to keep them producing. How do you handle this? It’s been extremely stressful and harmful to my ptsd anxiety and depression.

Good Morning!

There might be a better bowl for this, if so, let me know! I know there are a lot of consultants on here. I have a first round interview at Deloitte next week. This first interview is a 30 minute HR screen. It is for a marketing position. Anyone have any words of advice or thoughts on the interview process? Any thoughts on the culture. I’ve already checked out Glassdoor and some past FB posts.

Thanks!

How much does PWC canada pay for MD role. What is a typical TC for 30+ year industry veteran?

I have 2nd round (final?) with EY for Product Manager position. I am being told that’s it’s the same as first round but at different level (first was with Manager, this is with Senior Manager). Anyone has any experience on how different these rounds are and what should I do differently to prepare? It’s a behavioral interview.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

What would be suggested for long-term growth? Doing growth-related data science at a private equity firm or a role as a monetization pm in a FANG-related company? What are possible growth areas after the job at a PE firm? I'm concerned that a career in PM would plateau.

Is moving from Product management to management consulting a right move given the future growth and compensation ? I have around 11 plus years of IT experience largely in Product Management.When I see LinkedIn profile of management consultants I see few of them get hired on C level positions in other companies but do not see that for Product manager except starting their own startup.Need suggestions if i should keep this transition dream or not

Between two offers, "Associate Principal" for m&a consulting in the Healthcare industry vs a Director at a F300 company doing M&A and Partnerships. Consulting pays about 50k more. What does the future look like in consulting? I am a bit nervous jumping from from "industry side" to the "consulting side".

I’m at a family member’s college graduation. One of her friends is going to Bain, another is going to BCG. Both interned at these places last summer. They said they usually worked 12+ hours a day, as INTERNS! 🤯 How is this possible?!

Which offer will you take?
Senior consultant SAP Vs Sap Manager PwC

Expecting offer from both the companies. Based on my salary research, PWC may offer $10k more for the job title role.

How are the Projects in PwC ?
How are the WLB and growth opportunities in both the companies?
I have I140 based visa. When do they restart the PERM process?

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

Anyone working at Alvarez & Marshall? Any insights on how the interview process goes?
