Likelyhood of a successful career change
I am in my early 30s and I am wanting to transition into management consulting, I have a rather extensive background that spans financial services, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare technology and entreprenunership via real estate. I am curious what the members of this subreddit think about how I should approach the recruiting/application process. Any firms I should be targeting? Any ancilary paths I can look at? I will be graduating from an M7 university either next May or at the end of the summer but am interested in getting some working experience while in school. I am located in Boston by the way so I guess that narrows down the school opportunities/annominity.
Thanks
You should talk to your career services office and they can give you access to the best recruiting tools in your area (and interview slots with consulting firms). Career changes are possible, I've had several in my career, but I wouldn't expect your background to give you any specific advantage given that it's so varied and you can't go the "SME" route. You'd probably have to join as part of the normal staff pool.
As a quick word of advice - I don't recommend copy+paste for anything job related (thank you notes, etc.). It's too difficult to ever be confident you have thoroughly scrubbed the message. I can tell you did it with that post, but it's ok, we're just strangers on the internet. You don't owe us a thing. I just wouldn't do it during the application process.
