Hi, I am a PhD student and I have recently started preparing for consulting. I have gone through basics of framework and have watched few YouTube videos.

TIA!

Off-topic.. but how do y'all deal with LinkedIn induced anxiety?
I mean I feel I am doing fairly well in life, have a good academic background, a well paying job, keep trying to continuously upskill also.. yet everytime I open LinkedIn I feel I am going nowhere. Everyone is getting promoted or moving abroad or winning awards. Even these 21-22yo kids have like 10 internships listed in their experience. 🤯
Can't even stay off of it, as I need it to network and find jobs. 🥲
Someone help please!🥺
