Make the translation
Move beyond firm names, frameworks, and project lists. Show how your experience connects to a company's priorities.
FOR CURRENT AND FORMER MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS
What made you successful in consulting might be exactly what makes it harder to make your next move.
The capabilities that make you a strong consultant don't automatically make you the obvious choice for an industry role. The difference is how you translate your experience into business value.
For current and former strategy and management consultants — including those already in industry.

A different way to approach your transition
Strategy & management consulting • Business impact • Role-specific positioning
THE CORE CHALLENGE
Your track record may be impressive.
But what problem can you solve for them?
Industry employers aren't just buying analytical capability. They are hiring someone to take responsibility for a specific business challenge.
Choose the right opportunities
Look past job titles. Identify where your specific strengths can create relevant business impact.
Build a credible case
Communicate judgment, ownership, and the contribution you can make in a future role.
WHO THIS IS FOR
A strong consulting background deserves a focused next move.
The Career Transition System is designed for professionals who want to approach their next career decision systematically — not simply send more applications.

A PERSPECTIVE FROM CONSULTING
“I spent eight years at McKinsey. I know how easy it is to overlook that difference.”
The challenge isn't to downplay the value of your consulting experience. It's to make it meaningful to the specific people making the hiring decision.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
Before you make your next move.
Is this only for people still working in consulting?
No. This includes former consultants already working in industry. Consulting does not need to have been your most recent role.
Is the Career Transition System a recruiting or placement agency?
No. The Career Transition System provides career transition guidance and support. We do not place candidates into jobs or promise offers.
Do I need to know my exact target role?
No. Clarifying relevant opportunities and the value you can bring is part of the work.
