McKinsey & Company 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!

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!

I’m in a bit of a unique situation where I’m deciding between MBB and MM private equity (both NYC, I have ~2.5 YOE).

Main considerations are money and WLB, especially weekends. I’d be curious to hear perspectives on WLB differences between the two either anecdotally or from people who have experienced both. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

About to post a job w/ HC software co (~550 employees).

Goal would be to give this person an opportunity to grow into more senior roles as knowledge of pop health increases. Thoughts / suggestions appreciated.
