Which market are you with? And what is your specialism. There’s huge growth in some markets compared to others where there’s lots of opportunity to grow. It frustrates me when I hear we have to staff yet another staff aug position. It’s not exciting work and doesn’t help the consultants grow. I’ve actually gone out of my way not support any of those sales pitches. They are a waste of time.

If you are considering big 4 then think about Deloitte a lot of slalom people have transitioned there successfully.

I believe I have not developed true consulting skills because of the constant staffing onto staff aug projects.

What are my exit opportunities? Can I go into the big 4 as a senior role and not start from the bottom? And be compensated appropriately finally?

Thanks in advance

What type of work have you been doing, Op?

Definitely can go into big 4. But be careful of the practice area if you’re coming to develop consulting skills. Some practices focus on delivering on engagements in a particular area of work without emphasizing the general skills that makes delivery successful

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
