Tough dude. Project management from KPMG to industry is even more difficult. Deloitte would have been a different story. I would suggest if it's not too late look to join a different group and pick up some skills.

Looking to make a move to a boutique for this reason. What I am doing now, could have done 90% of it in undergrad.

@pwc1 which boutiques are you looking at?

@accenture1 what career are you trying to move into?

I'm trying to move more into healthcare strategy. Right now I'm in oil and gas technology, white difficult to move laterally within the company.

@accenture1 when do you start bschool and where?

I'm applying round 1 now. I want to go to INSEAD

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

Hi All! Going through previous posts, I can see it is hard to get a comment/connection in this particular bowl. Reasonably so, as the field in itself is so hectic that professionals are usually busy. Anyway, I’m looking for a job switch and want to get into IB for an MNC. If there’s anyone who has any open position in their team, I’ll be grateful if you can refer me. Thanks in anticipation!
