CV post-MBB experience

Hi all,

After close to 3 years at MBB, I am now searching for Strategy & Ops-related roles in the tech sector.

I have updated my CV and would much appreciate any feedback (have included an anonymised version). For my consulting experience, I long debated between listing key projects with few bullets each vs. summarising and highlighting key skills/achievements, and decided for the latter to avoid repetition and keep more concise.

Thanks in advance for any help! Hope this also helps other as I did not find that many resources on post-consulting CV building.

I'd recommend putting more quantifiable achievements in your secondment and 7 projects you listed; alot of what you mentioned are more BAU in nature. Nothing wrong with that, but backing up with achievements help bring more color and accomplishments

Ok so some general pointers already provided, but no one has yet mentioned one of the more obvious/key considerations: you should tailor your CV to where you are applying.

It does matter... in terms of which projects to highlight, which angle/skills within that experience to highlight etc.

So keep that in mind!
