Thoughts on the chances of breaking into strategy consulting at T2 firms (Strategy&, EY-Parthenon, Monitor Deloitte) with a background in risk consulting?

Would reaching Senior Consultant then taking a downgrade be possible or would further qualifications/experience be necessary?

Are EYP and Monitor considered T2?

Honestly even without taking a downgrade your chances are pretty solid. A lot of firms are bringing in industry folks with 0 consulting experience right now. If anything you’d have a leg up on a lot of applicants.

How soon is too soon to quit a job? I took what seemed like a great offer, with competitive pay, a hybrid schedule, and 15% travel. However, I’m about 1.5 months in and the job is miserable. I’m working 50 hour weeks with no breaks to keep up with the demand, there is minimal training or support, I can’t work hybrid yet, I get 24/7 phone calls, and they’ve asked me to travel once a month for the remainder of the year. At this point, I’m only staying for fear of how it will look on my resume.

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?
