What does EXPERT NETWORK companies actually do?
What is third bridge?
I am told you can be PE researcher but all of a sudden a friend told me you would end up connecting clients with ex Csuite in a certain industry.

So basically an EA but in a more prestigious indirect way!!
Need urgent help as I have an interview soon?

It's simple: analysts or consultants want to speak to someone with knowledge about something they don't know (a particular industry, function, product, company, whatever). Expert networks find people with that knowledge and set up conversations between the expert and the customer.

Interviews are typically an hour long. The "expert" is paid a rate, typically between $150-400. I used expert networks all the time when I was in consulting.

It's not a job. It's not even reliable income. You might not get picked at all, and you might never speak with them again. But some people manage to get a lot of interviews because they're very senior or have knowledge of hot topics.

Imo the networks are getting worse with time. More and more and more requests for stuff I'm not qualified to speak about.

Still worth it. It's occasional money and it's kinda fun.

They are the middle men between consulting/investment firms and industry experts with specialized knowledge.

They are responsible for sourcing the expert and setting up the call. So correct, it will be much closer to “EA” then “PE researcher”

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.
