Can you elaborate on what you see as different between the two? Primary research is typically a big part of a strategy project

Your 2nd description is what I consider a strategy project to be. How are they different in your mind?

Define real strategy

Not sure what you mean with the second - but at least the primary research part sounds like private equity / DD work? FWIW, I spend ~60% of my MBB career on core strategy work, and 20% each on cost reduction and private equity. Hope that helps.

What is a typical team structure at MBB for a large corporate strategy project ? For example, portfolio review and growth strategy for group of 3-5 businesses on public holding company. Would that be team of 5? Team of 10? And how involved are partners on a project like that (e.g., more a member of team or more a stakeholder)?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting.

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

I am a new (lateral) associate at a small firm where everyone currently works from the office. When I started, I wasn’t told specific firm hours. I’ve tried to figure out when to come and go based upon when the partners arrive and leave, but their schedules are very inconsistent. The other associates don’t have helpful guidance for me. Assuming that if I ask the partners they’ll say to use my discretion, what are reasonable hours to keep?
