Pivoting between industries can feel impossible, especially trying to connect the experiences you have with what the hiring team thinks they need. This is especially hard when trying to pivot into strategy at a tech company, startup, or bank if you don’t have a traditional consulting background. Sometimes it can feel impossible to get through the front door when your skills may not sound like an apples-to-apples lateral move. I've personally experienced this when I made the jump from Equity Research at Morgan Stanley to Growth Strategy at Oscar Health and into Investment Banking Strategy at JPMorgan. My goal is to help navigate the muddy waters, advise on ways to speak about your experiences, help you shape your resumes and prep for interviews, and most importantly, position you for success in your new role. Learn how to pass case interviews from someone who successfully did so without any consulting experience.
