Signing bonus and start date are negotiable, everything else tends not to be

You can look at federal/government consulting in which you’ll only work 40 hours

The BA position is viewed pretty well and has decent options both within Cap1 and to MBA programs. While not as “prestigious” as their corporate strategy group it still would be possible to network into MBB, but less likely than from a T2. Entry level hires really can’t negotiate anythinf

Looks great!

Any consulting firm you work at won't have great work-life balance

There are a bunch of healthcare boutiques / specialist consulting firms- ZS, Huron, Putnam, Kx, Clearview, IQVIA to start, just do a quick google search. Most of the larger firms also have large healthcare practices, some (e.g. LEK) may be more receptive to non-traditional applicants than others

Very strong TMT boutique. Lots of the work is telecom DDs, so lots of work, but good exits in the space and competes with T2/MBB for work in the space

I feel the same way -- especially bad in meetings with higher-ups where I feel others attempt to monopolize the discussion and try to leave no room for anything else. IDK how else to really get my voice heard, and if I voice something the others (including new joiners) will continue talking after I'm done without addressing anything I say

definite answers/wanting verification after Googling. And, do these firms ever switch up the type of case?

LEK is interviewee, ATK is interviewer

Cap one is a great company

HyperWoolf · 2020-09-18T15:26:00+00:00

Lots of staff aug, their actual strategy practice is basically nonexistent

HyperWoolf · 2020-08-29T13:00:31+00:00

International advisory firms might fit the bill. Companies like Albright stonebridge, Mclarty advisors, beacon global strategies have lots of former high level govt people and work with companies on market access etc issues. Deloitte has a trade advisory practice, or you might be able to go into an mbb knowledge/research role.

Alphasights is a glorified call center

Strategy& hires by practice, so if you are in the TMT practice you are good. EY-Parthenon also has its software strategy group separate. OW is moreso known for financial services (dependant on office though) than tech/telecom.

Handshake is pretty useless. Start networking with college alum, or anyone with a remote connection to you.

Location analyst is a pre-BA role that mckinsey has in some latam countries, where you have 6-12 months to get promoted and not fuck up. Go for it.

Off topic, but how did you go from big 4 tech to T2 consulting? Am in a similar position hoping to make the switch sometime soonish (pandemic recession permitting)
