Took me a full year to find a job again after Oliver Wyman (downgrade to a Big 4). The market is brutal. Congrats on bouncing back!

Congrats! It’s a tough market for sure but get ready for the pendulum to swing the other way in a few years. Upskill and continue to network even at your new boutique.

That is incredible you were able to withstand nearly 2 years. I probably would have gone to work at McDonald’s by that point. Which is scary because I don’t have enough savings to last me more than 2 months.

Hi congrats. I finish uni a while ago and even with experience it is very hard. Where would you advise to apply ? Or where there is room for recruitment in consultancy and merger and acquisitions

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!
