What does a strategy consultant do? Those of you at MBB, ATK, OW, P-EY, etc., could you please explain your role? I don’t love tech and would be interested in moving to a different type of consulting

I work at a T2 (post undergrad) and my work has been a mix between strategy and ops on different engagements.

I feel like strategy work (DD / Marketing / high level ad box analysis) involves a lot of primary research (overpriced GLG interviews where the lowest person takes notes and refine the interview guide and shares the key insights with the rest of the team) and secondary research (google / databases / news) to support thoughts. In parallel these strategy projects are helping C suite executives make a decision. (Go international or grow domestic potential? Push X or Y product line? Acquire Z competitor or just build internally?)

I’ve also been on the ops side where I get the entire DD deck from Bain. Where we do post-acquisition work. And we have to apply their recommendations and see if it actually works.

All in all, when you’re the lowest person on the team you push the analysis. The high level stuff is really the consultant and partner driving the story. Im the one quantifying the insights and ensuring the consultant (mba level) and partner are correct with their story.

Strategists set the vision. Main components of strategy projects typical entail a current state assessment (identify the issue), a future state design (propose the opportunities) and then a business case/roadmap for delivering outcomes (create the strategy)

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.

Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).

I’m an application analyst in the midwest for a small CAH. I was hired into this position at $27.15/hr and have now worked here for a year.

My primary responsibilities are systems/HIE integrations using Meditech, HL7 transfer, SQL report writing, and user administration (just to name a few).

I have a phone screen interview with AWS for the position of Systems Engineer with the Linux team early next week. I’ve been a Sys Admin for the last 4 years, and I’m not very well-versed with coding. The phone screen does have whiteboard coding, any tips on what I could do to prepare for this? I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?
