McKinsey & Company Hi all! Any fishes at BCG and/or McK have time to chat sometime within the next few days/weeks?
I’m a consulting analyst at Accenture, really interested in strategy work (mainly tech/software clients but open to all backgrounds) hoping to make the jump some time next year. I’d very much appreciate connecting to understand your journey with the firms and the work you do.
Thanks in advance, and happy holidays!

Google would be a great move, but the role is literally just a sales role. nothing great about it, I wouldn't waste my time
But account strategy isn’t a sexy role
Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.
Do it. Once you have Google on your resume you can go anywhere.
M1 were you at Google as an FTE or contractor? Have never seen anyone leave Google as an FTE and come to big 4.? Assuming OP goes with Google, they will be responsible for their own career or progression, just like any other place.
Account strategist is not a good role and does not pay well. So many uninformed
Waiting for peeps that work for Google to chime in. But, my thoughts are that is most likely not a good exit.
It’s a sales role but you can also internally pivot. My gf does it and is planning on transitioning to a product management role next year. Once you’re in google you’re in google
Can you elaborate on that?
Often their account strategist are put in cheap office locations also
If you’re okay with cold calling and a generally sales role I’m sure you could leverage the google name, but from what I know these roles don’t pay well
Also if you can get started early in Google cloud sales, there’s an incredibly high ceiling, both at google and other software companies. Top software sales people make 7 figures
Account strategist doesn’t sound like sales to me 🧐
you can look at the job link yourself. it's the same thing.
