Does anyone have a view on pre sales consulting roles with human capital management solutions like Darwinbox? And how worthy is it to shift from people consulting practice at Big4?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Does anyone over here work at Darwinbox? Curious to understand its go-market-strategy. How reliant is the firm on new-age start-ups vs enterprises? Is pricing one of its key USPs (compared to the likes of Workday, Oracle etc.) Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I've been working as a Software developer with a total of 2.5 years of exp in an MNC.  I want to explore other areas like consulting. Can y'all suggest how I can get started and would I be a fool to try applying to the Big4?

Also let me know if the whole shebang about consultants getting to travel more true or it depends on other factors??

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi everyone,

I’ve been with one of the biggest IT service provider for the past 2 years after graduating with a BE degree. I currently work as an Analyst in a pre-sales team, focusing on market research, company profiling, P&L analysis, KPI benchmarking, and supporting proposal/offering preparation. I’ve gained exposure to a variety of tasks, including handling RFIs, RFPs, pricing, and commercial strategy.

I also hold two AWS certifications and am looking to pivot towards a consulting and advisory career in the long term. However, I’m unsure about the best approach to make this switch.

Specifically, I need advice on:

	•	Which profiles I should target
	•	Which companies would be ideal to pursue
	•	Which additional skills or certifications would be beneficial
	•	Whether I should gain more experience before making the switch

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and provide guidance!

Anyone hiring for HR Consulting Roles?

While personally checking out every consulting company's career page is doable but time consuming... i wanted to get an idea from the community 's experience on the recent openings for a consulting profile.

Which consulting firms are currently hiring for India based roles?

Growth And Strategy

Hi Guys,
I  am working as a software developer in Oracle( btech from old IIT) . Its been 2 years and I now want to switch to management consulting (preferable in MBB) to experience it so want to give MBA.

1. I did some research but I want to gain some information on the salary aspect of it. I heard that the salaries are not that high they would probably be in the same range that I am getting now. BUT, I want to know in the long run do consultants get more hikes compared to tech roles? 

2. I heard the wlb is pretty bad so is there some resource that I can study to know if thats the right suit for me since its a big risk I’ll be taking moving on to a different field. There are some good exit opportunities also I believe after MBB can someone tell more about it.

Would really appreciate some answers on this. Its on my head for a long time. Cheers!

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

Hello everyone,

I'm a 2023 graduate based in Mumbai and working as an Associate at a development sector consulting firm. My background includes internships in strategy consulting (Dalberg) and government advisory (Invest India). I'm eager to transition my career to the Middle East, with my top location preferences in order of priority being UAE, Qatar, and KSA

Would anyone based in these regions or familiar with the transition be available for informational chats or potential referrals? Any general tips or insights would also be highly valuable 

Thanks in advance

Management Consultant

Joined big 4 recently, after MBA, thought would land-up in strategy roles but placed in functional ERP role,  Considering fresher with 0 tool knowledge in SAP, post mba along with 3.5 yrs of exp in amazon this is a fresh start for me. 
So thinking to move towards ESG as this motivates me a lot to work, how is this space, to move lateral in same org need 1.5 yrs mandarory exp in same firm, 
Want to apply with same package outside but i know would get less benefits with what i have now, but atleast would start working on ESG field and grow from here.

How is this industry in India, would like to know more thoughts

Would it be a good move to shift from D365 to SAP consulting? Haven't come across any one who has... Please answer honestly.

Want to start a career in SAP consulting; currently working as a D365 CRM consultant with 2 YOE

Hey. I'm a post graduate from a tier 1 MBA college currently working as a management consultant in one of the Big4s (<1 year). Compensation is good (~30 lpa), can't complain. Work has been stagnant for a while firm wide though and have just been focused on upskilling myself.

With the interactions I've had till now, I don't really see myself building any hard skills other than data analysis in excel, power BI and business acumen here. (I might just be ill informed here, but are these transferrable skills I can take to the industry? I know data analysis is the bread and butter for business everywhere but I'm talking about specific software and whatnot used in companies) 


1. I'm just worried about the exit opportunities that I might have later on. Can anyone shed some light on what kind of exit opportunities one can expect?

2. Let's say I want to get into the operations side of the industry. Is there anything I can do if I'm not necessarily involved in such projects?

Consultant

I noticed that a few HR consulting firms reach out to people with higher experiences to fulfill an opening that their clients have. I suspect they reach out to anyone with less than 5 or 7 years of experience. Also, I noticed that consultants from these HR firms tend to focus on a certain specific roles/department when hiring. 

Have you approached any one such HR consulting firm for a job change? If yes, provide their name and the role you were looking for. What is the fee they charge (if they do)?

Hi everyone,

I'm an engineering undergraduate who has just finished my second year, and I have 1.5 months of vacation ahead. I've long been interested in investment banking and feel that now is the time to start taking concrete steps. However, I'm uncertain about where and how to begin. I've purchased the "Breaking into Wall Street" and "Wall Street Prep" courses. Could someone with experience in this field advise me on how to maximize the benefits of these courses? I understand that investment banking is highly competitive and that no course or certification can guarantee an internship at a Bulge Bracket firm. My expectations are realistic; my immediate goal is to secure an internship at a small/mid-market or boutique firm during the winter break to gain some experience. From there, I hope to eventually pivot to other firms.

My university isn't very well-known, and I don't have strong connections in the industry, which has been discouraging. The job market in India, much like elsewhere, doesn't have a well-developed culture for non-target schools. Though I have experience of cold emailing, using Apollo etc as used it a lot during my college clubs.

Any insights on what and how to learn, whether these courses are necessary for an intern-level position, attaching the images of the courses I have and can any of you suggest to me in what order I begin and is all even required just to get an intern that too in a boutique or mid-market bank?

If you can help me with a bit structured guidance, I would be immensely grateful, sharing my dummy mail; mymail8795@gmail.com 

Thank you.

Edit: My 12 isn't that strong and I'm a GEM hence not considering the CAT route.
