What are best steps for a lateral move from big 4 to MBB or Strategy&?

I’m looking to do more strategy work! I’ve been working for about half a year right now and I don’t enjoy the type of work I’ve been doing as It feels very narrow and I’ve been mostly on staff augmentation projects. I would be applying as a BA/AC/Associate. I’m looking to switch as I’ve always wanted to do strategy work and I see that MBB and some tier two firms are hiring. Any advice and feedback is appreciated!

Hello IBMERS,

Can anyone help me know about band 07b in IBM. Designation - Senior Advisory Consultant.


What are the roles and responsibilities for this position?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

The firm I work for has been good to me, but the partner I work under is pretty toxic/manipulative and it’s negatively impacting me. The past two years have sucked the life out of me, so I’m looking to leave. I love client service and training/leading staff, but I don’t know if I can do another busy season. Industry doesn’t particularly seem interesting to me though. Any advice on what to do?

If you weren’t a biglaw lawyer what do you think you’d do? Been wondering as of late about what else is out there.

I’m a CFP® and work as a test engineer for financial planning software. I’m pretty new to the tech space, and wondering what jobs might be out there in the fintech space as I gain more software knowledge. It’s kind of niche working in financial planning software as my background is financial planning. What kind of jobs are out there that might translate well and would have good earning potential?

Been working freelance for the past year and I've made more money and connections than I did while at my previous agency. This is a life tip for young creatives: you value your own work, don't let anyone else do so.

Working as FTE of a client: allowed or frowned upon ?
Curious to know if this is a common phenomenon or pretty rare.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

🐠 who specialize in op model/org design cases — what sort of exit ops are you targeting? Most of the recruiters who reach out to me are for internal consulting gigs, and I am just curious what else there is out there where our skills could be useful.

I’m at a late-stage startup right now and helping optimize their recruiting process. I’d love to hear your raw thoughts - what did you like/dislike at Series C-E startups where you’ve interviewed? Do you expect a live case / take-home case? What’s reasonable? Anything else?

Hey Fish, I have almost 2 YOE in supply chain and honestly don’t feel like I can be in this field forever. Has anyone been successful in a career switch? I am interested in real estate but I feel like that ship has sailed. Any tips or pointers I should look out for?

Anyone witness slackers who got into companies you have no idea how? Had a coworker who does jack chit at work besides chatting on Facebook yet lands at a faang company? I guess if he brings the same work ethic he will be spit out for sure. Or maybe he just had no interest in doing project work.
