Spencer Stuart & American Express are hosting “Life after Consulting” on Feb 4 in NY. I know a bunch of people who recently joined the Strategy team at Amex - all very strong (ex-Bain/BCG). See flyer.

If they really wanted consultants to attend it should have been on a Thursday or Friday.

It looks like they're targeting financial services consultants who come into NYC for the finance clients.

I work in payments and interviewed at AMEX. Found compensation to be on the low end, especially for NYC. Also, questionable future in terms of winning in payments and there stock grew 50% of what Visa, MC, or PYPL did this year

I applied to go to the dinner as I’ve found Amex to be an incredible client to work for. However, the compensation is indeed low and the benefits are nowhere close to MBB packages so they certainly don’t make up for it on that end. Agree with the competitive landscape but they are certainly trying to transform and evolve

Worked at Amex as my first industry gig after a career in only consulting - ACN and Slalom. Would not recommend Amex. The good old days are gone - massive reorgs, low comp, high politics, lots of uncertainty, new CEO is tech background mainly. Smart people but they are not focused. They mean well but are behind compared to their peers.

MBadi is one of the nicest (and super straight) guys ever. Worth going just to hear his take.

Does anyone else feel like this comes off a bit strong? I get it’s recruiting but the “life after X” and AmEx’s “don’t live life without” tag gives it a bit of a “Life after hate” vibe...

It was written by the ex-consultants at AMEX that want to hire future ex-consultants

I want to go to all these events but on a travel project.

Can someone send me an invite

Just search it on LinkedIn
