Hello 👋
I'm a manager of managers in a tech position with 10 years of experience. TC is good. I'm interested in trying management consulting (MBB) for the following reasons,
- Understand business management (may be switch to business position) and explore more opportunities.
- Get a high-profile job in the middle-east. From What I've seen is jobs at director level and above are not advertised. I believe this will be my way to get into the market there, by building a good network.
However, I'm not sure about my hypothesis. Also is it good idea to move from Head of /EM position to associate consultant - Digital position? it feels like a demotion. Will I be able to exit MBB to high position in Tech or other industry after this switch?
I would really benefit from your insights. My experience is mostly product & tech. The whole consulting thing is black-box for me.
Thanks for reply, I hear this a lot 'MBB has a fast promotion track' but not sure how fast? If I join as an experienced consultant from the bottom of the ladder. Do I follow the same route, every 2 years?
Hi, that depends on your performance and the career progression of the particular firm that you will join. In general, if you perform well you could have a promotion every 2-3 years until you reach the Principal level. Hope this helps
