Seeking advice for moving from industry leadership role (dr of training) into HC consulting. 20+ years in TD (L&D, PC, OCM). Industry roles for last 5 years but spent most of my career in small consulting orgs.
CPTD but no degree (long story, about 15 cr shy). Would you suggest addl cert (CCMP, SHRM-C)? Will the lack of degree a no-go or is there a way in while I finish? A Sr director role is being dangled. Would the title bump help with the transition or do I risk missing a hot market?

Interesting , don’t see people often go from industry to consulting. Good luck!

I personally haven’t seen them accept folks with no college degree at the level you’re at. Probably depends what “tier” of consulting firms you’re looking at joining as well. But it is such a hot job market that it’s worth a shot plus 15 credits doesn’t sound like too much/too long. If you’re already enrolled in a good school to finish, then you can probably sell it better as a story.

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.
