Bain & Company Worked for ~1 year in Fintech, then switched to a boutique management consulting firm in London 8 months ago. High performer, running for promotion within my first year of consulting

I am now trying to switch to MBBs to focus more on strategy. Anyone here working at those firms in London up for a chat? I’m not considered an experienced hire yet, but not a fresh graduate either. Thank you!

If I were to hire you and invest in coaching you, why would I think that you won’t jump ship for the next best thing 12 months later?

I wouldn’t be concerned with starting from zero, although that is partly why I would like to switch as soon as possible. Starting from zero would actually be something I’m looking forward to. I heard that lateral hires are not seen well from colleagues.

Thank you for your input!

Hi everyone, I am 4.9 years experienced , I joined Fractal 3 months ago as a data engineer, but still haven't got any project. Process is so slow that I have received only 4 to 5 project calls. I switched in hopes that will learn the new tech and tools. But now i am starting to forget even the one i knew. Should i go for change or wait a little more time as fractal is reputed in AI/ML? I have interview lined up with Impetus as for now. Would it be better choice?
