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?

Wow <40 in strategy. How is this possible 🤔

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

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
