Firstly, very hard to get in from consulting compared to IB broadly speaking. That said, your chances are highest at MBB and LEK/EYP/OW/S&, that’s it. If you are at Big 4/Accenture/Slalom or another firm, you’re likely toast.

I do. Feel free to DM

LEK is a good springboard

Applied for a Director role in industry without realizing their Director = our manager. Had a call with HR that said their salary band is $20-30k below my current. They are requesting an interview with hiring manager, who is a lot less experienced than I am. Should I email them now to let know I am not interested or go through it?

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

My team is growing more and more to specializations with investment products.

We have two competing ideas; A financial planning specialist would be able to develop intimate familiarity with the planning software, processes, and human nuances.
