What would my first steps be if I’m interested in switching to risk from strategy? Would it be a difficult transition? Advice appreciated.

If might take longer as a lot of strategy people are currently on the bench.

Bummer, that's kind of what I was afraid of.

The demand for risk is higher for in the current environment. So if there is a need in risk, strategy would likely be willing to let you go.

Pun intended: probably a better strategy to post this in a strategy thread.

What do you mean by risk, as that is a term that can mean many things? What would the job you’re looking for entail?

Risk Assurance would seem like a bit of an unusual change to me, but I could see something like ERM making sense.

I don't think strategy is going to grow as much as risk will in the next few years if I'm being honest, it's an easier thing to take in house

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
