Hi - I am having to move from the US to London due to Visa issues. Exploring relevant strategy consulting roles @ MBB / T2s following 3Y of management consulting focused on operations @ a boutique firm in NYC. What is the best way to get started with this ? Any good recruiters you would recommend ? Or referrals? Happy to share my profile. PS - I have UK work auth so won’t require sponsorship.

Have an interview with a growth stage startup, what should I wear for a virtual interview ?

I want to exit to MBB but if that’s not a possibility what are the next best consulting firms? Looking for at least midsize firms (non-boutiques).

Anyone with experience in negotiating salary willing to dm me? It’s a role I really want to take and still pays well but I definitely don’t want to be leaving money on the table. Also, don’t want to it to be a bad look and get the offer revoked lol

Anyone exited from Clinical Pharmacy (hospital) into industry or Health Economics consulting? My partner is looking to leave and I want to help them pursue consulting if they want it, but I'm sceptical that it is their best option (vs pharma company role).

What are good pharma exits?

What areas other than DC, is a TS clearance valuable?

I am ready for a new challenge. Recent Finance MBA grad, 10 years of mixed finance roles, Any takers? Any pointers?

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

What are the exit opportunities for digital consulting if product management recruiting doesnt go well?

Anyone else feel like Chicago has very limited "upward" exit options, especially for tech? It seems like outside of consulting, most people who earn a higher incomes are in trading/banking/PE 😕

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner. Starting in a junior BD Rep role to learn prospecting and earn quota history. Took a big paycut for the potential future earnings as an Account Exec. Did I dun goof? Probably. But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.

Has anyone interviewed or accepted a position with Teneo Strategy? Interested in hearing your experiences.

I am full time remote living in NYC, but hate paying the taxes. Any recommendations on where to move when my lease is up in September? I like the outdoors, beach, and warm weather

I exited earlier this year, and my first few months were brutal for a variety of reasons owing to org changes amongst other things. I’m now close to an offer with another company, and feel torn about leaving so soon. Details in comments

With product marketing do you have to be passionate about the product or just know how to do the work? I’m about to have a conversation about a PMM role that I know nothing about the product. Any advise?

I just had a final round with a company and they’re asking me for details on my other offer (which I mentioned because it moved up my timeline). Should I tell them?

Realistic target for switching to another firm? Some details:
-Been at current firm doing tech/management consulting for 3.5 years out of college at 100k.
-Looking to jump to new firm, targeting...

Strategy at a large tech company (like Adobe, TikTok, ServiceNow, Cisco) or MBB consulting coming out of an MBA? At an M7 and both look like likely options.

Interested in hearing from anyone who jumped from consulting to an AD or D position in med comms / marketing or medical affairs role, in a pharma / biotech (not agency).

How have you found the new role, transition, WLB & TC ?
