No Bain? 😓

For hiring, probably better to connect with managers or post MBA folks. Partners have very little time and are variable in terms of how much capacity/willingness they have to dedicate towards recruiting.

I don’t think that’s a good idea; two facts, the number of partners compared to the consulting team is a very small group, so immediately your probabilities of finding a Partner are very low and second as someone else mentioned they don’t have a lot of time, as part of the consulting team is hard to get time from partners, now imagine yourself, hangout with regular consulting team they should be able to refer you.

Why do you want to network with parters? For getting into MBB this makes only sense if you want to get in on a higher level like Project leader upwards and then you need to network specifically with those from your industry/function. Those will be difficult to find, but you could try to just hit them a message via mail or LinkedIn if you have a really strong case. For Consultant level talk to recruiters or other consultants as mentioned before

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

It's more than a week now and I haven't heard back. Can anyone shed light on the process -- what to expect, timelines, what is the interview process like, etc.

Thanks!
