T2 Strategy Consulting to PE/VC/Growth
I'm considering application to a few different consulting firms in London and I'm wondering about how the T2s place into investment jobs on exit.
I'm finishing a PhD in a Life Science adjacent field and am hoping to get into LS related VC, Growth, or PE after a few years in consulting.
I'd be most interested in hearing how the following firms place (though this is not exhaustive):
EY-Parthenon
S&
OW (especially considering their recent Huron Life Science acquisition)
LEK (also understand they're strong for LS and DDs)
Thanks
I have some good friends at Strategy& in London. Or that were there recently. One just left for a European VC firm; an older one is currently at a MF. I know a lot of people exit into PE, mostly MM. However, they are in the deals part of Strategy&; so PE is their bread and butter
A PhD will help you immensely - particularly in such a hot topic

Would you happen to know what kind of MM funds that S& folk tend to exit to? From my scan, doesn’t look like people leave for the more consultant friendly shops like Bain Cap, H&F, etc
I only know 1 who exited to a MF. Hence I can’t disclose where as it would be easily identifiable. Think KKR/CVC/BS
Yeah that’s fair. On the MM front, would you happen to know what type of funds (eg UMM, LMM) that S& folks tend to leave for?
I am not at S& btw, just a surprisingly large number of former uni colleagues there. I am not entirely sure what the boundaries are for UMM etc as I have no interest in PE but I have hear names such as Hg, Bridgepoint, Livingbridge, TA, etc. does that help?
