How We Position Consultants
Strategies specifically designed to translate consulting experience into banking language.
Lead with Transaction-Adjacent Work
Due diligence projects, M&A integration, carve-outs, or any transaction-related consulting work should be front and center.
Quantify Financial Impact
Revenue growth, cost savings, EBITDA improvement—frame your consulting wins in terms bankers understand.
Highlight Financial Modeling
Any DCF, valuation, or financial analysis you've done. Consultants often undersell their modeling experience.
Show Industry Depth
If you have sector expertise, emphasize it. Industry knowledge is valuable for coverage groups.

Why Consultants Switch to Banking
Want to be closer to transaction execution rather than advisory
Interested in finance and capital markets specifically
Seeking clearer exit opportunities to PE/HF
Want to build technical financial skills
Prefer deal-based work over project-based consulting
The good news: Banks actively recruit from consulting. MBB to banking is a well-worn path. But your resume needs to speak banking language—not consulting language—to get interviews.
