I'd welcome thoughts & experiences on moving into consultancy after having worked in industry for 25 yrs (of which 20 yrs in ever increasing leaderhip roles). Are top consultancies open for mature hires like this who bring deep (energy sector) expertise? Thanks.
Gaurav, Thanks for your helpful response. In your experience, do senior lateral hires still need to go through the FIT/PEI and Case interviews?

Florian, thank-you! A follow-up question if I may, does the recruitment process at MBB follow the same steps as for more junior candidates?
The process is usually a bit more intense since the stakes for the firm are higher, however the same core skills are assessed (+ more focus on leadership). Funnily, once you join you will also have to go through the previous roles: e.g. if you join as a partner, you will usually do a short project as an Associate, then a short one as an Engagement Manager / Project Leader etc. to learn the ropes...
Thanks!
