What are the chances of moving from a Big 4 M/early SM to MBB? I tried McK in my first year as a manager for a supply chain role and it wasn't very encouraging. Any other Exp?

I'm same level in strategy and in the same boat. I really enjoy what I do, but feel like I can perform at a higher level than am being expected to today. Ivy League background and work < 40 hours / week with top ratings. I just feel like I'm holding myself back from really putting my whole self into my work because I don't need to. I have great work life balance so maybe I should also be giving more weight to that. Thoughts?

Still needing help to translate. Thinking engagement manager means a senior PL or Principle. I don't know of many who have ever lateralled in like that. You would basically have to be able to bring over a client and have done consulting for 6+ years?

Why do you want to move now?

Just bored with what I do. Not particularly digging the direction my practice is growing in.

Thanks McK1. The recruiter that I connected with told me that I can only come to McK either as a fresher or as an SMR. But I'll start looking at other offices.
BCG1 I would think atleast as an engagement manager.

@mck I used to lead teams of 6-8 working 90-100 hour weeks in industry when far less experienced. Now lead teams of 3-4 with far less expected of us, so very efficiently plan, delegate and push back

@a1 what kind of consulting do you do? Don't think there's a mbb equivalent where you just manage the team.

A1 trying really hard to prove themselve

I’m currently in PA working in tax compliance (PE/Hedge) and considering my options. When I spoke with a recruiter seems like there is not a lot of “interesting” tax opportunities in industry that really stuck out to me. They mentioned potential opportunities for a PE controller role. Has anyone ever tried this? It would be a smaller shop so imagine I’d be doing everything if I was considered. Would I be setting myself up for failure?

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child.

I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations?

What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭
