Process tips for finding the right in-house counsel role would be much appreciated! I’m currently a 4th year (going on to be a 5th year) M&A associate at a V5. I think I likely will stay for another year or so at my firm, to build more experience and also save up some more money. When should I start looking for in-house? Should I apply to multiple, try interviewing with a few of them? How does one come to decide whether they want an early stage, series C, D, E, or public c, small team, etc.?

Can I go from PE to consulting? I am a mid career PE professional. Mostly in growth capital. I always had wanted to spend some time in strategy consulting. But in undergrad I failed to get an offer, despite making it to final round at nearly all the MBBs. Later I went to b school but it was not a target school for consulting. Now I am more than ten years in finance. Can I try to get an experienced hire role in consulting given PE experience? Is that nuts? Is this “grass is greener” syndrome?

Hello! Does anyone know of consulting firms that are still hiring for entry-level positions? Thank you!

One of the alum suggested sending a LinkedIn request with a personalized message to MBB partners of the local office.

does this kind of random networking to partner work?
what should my connect message be? (interested in the domain they are focused on and mention my achievements)
