Reviews on Oliver Wyman? Work, wlb, culture and exit? Seems they are hiring a lot.
Being in D or Accn. gives some hope of more industry exit opportunities (with the no. of tech roles), what is your advice on considering a move to OW if they call.

Strangely, OW is cometely unknown in some industries like pharma.

I worked at both D and OW. The quality of the people at OW are about the same, maybe slightly better than D.

The work is strategy and Ops, like Deloitte. They are really strong in FS, transportation, a couple of other areas. I liked the vibe better at OW than D.

Exits from OW are really good, I think better than D. But I am probably splitting hairs.

I was Monitor Deloitte at D so I can't comment on technology implementation or digital.

TMT exits are pretty good at OW. while I was there I saw people from my practice go to:

1 Netflix
3-4 other unicorn-like SF tech Co's,

For HF/PE:
1 to a hedge fund on investment team
1 to VC on deal team
1 to big cap PE on deal team

Corporate:
3-4 Corp dev & strategy

OW is way smaller than D, but with 5,000 people in offices all over, it isn't that small. NYC office has 700+ people.

OW recruits from only a handful of schools and is incredibly selective. I was very impressed by people on my case teams. D people were very good too, but I'd give the edge to OW.

I think OW is a great firm esp. when it comes to culture. WLB can be tough at times especially with the strong demand we are experiencing atm - but at least we get/ got a couple of recharge days.

OW can provide you with great exits in most fields, including tech roles (though MBB has an advantage)

Have v close friends working there - Very good FS practice with all major fs firms as clients. A lot of the work might be regulatory compliance but there seems to be a mix of strat as well.

WLB is very project dependent but overall not crazy. Def see them more than folks at MBB.

I know some folks with really impressive academic backgrounds now at OW so they’re doing something right

Probably! But that won’t stop me from trying!

Sounds like you’re already thinking about exiting to tech. Why not go straight to tech and skip the move altogether?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
