Would it easier to transition to EYP or Strategy& from Big 4 vs. MBB or would it be about the same?

MBB would definitely get more responses from recruiters. But assuming you are the same person in both scenarios with the same abilities and intellect, all it takes is one interview to convert into an offer.

EYP/S& seem much easier to access for me. Got interviews at both easily (they came to me on LinkedIn) but I didn't get selected to interview with the two of the three MBB I tried.

10 yoe total, with 5 in consulting post-mba. Top 10 mba.

Got an interview at all coming out of B4 Advisory so it’s possible, but I definitely benefited from the great resignation + being in a hot space (digital/cloud).

Once you get an interview, the interview/case process relatively straight forward at all firms (MBB requires some fine tuning such as PEI or interviewee led cases) but from a timeline perspective I got same-day responses from S& and EYP recruiters when I submitted my application vs MBB where I basically forgot I submitted my applications until I got invited to R1.

BCG1, Did you have referrals?

No, applied via their website without referrals

During this pandemic I:
-Was put on a reduced work week
-Lost my role due to reduced scope and had to change roles
- Transition to a new role/team/skill sets
-Accepted an offer for a new role that pays more, in a growing field in something that I like!

Bottom line: Keep going forward, don’t give up. It’s possible to further your careers during the pandemic. You can do it!!!

Hi fishes,

I am currently working as an Consultant in OT. I have an offer from PwC as an Experienced Associate role for core OCM profile. Not sure if this is a good career move because I am moving as an EA there, but the pay is good and i will also get to learn about change management, which I don't have much experience in. Any thoughts about going for an EA role (with lots of scope for learning) from being a consultant in Deloitte OT (where learning is basically zero)?
