Advice on how to build trust from your team to take on more responsibility in your current role? (eg how long did it take you to be a workstream lead on a project as a new analyst/consultant)

Deliver consistently and get clients to mention your work when you aren’t in the room....and make sure what you feel are “admin” tasks are never an issue. It’s not a 6 month process

Well there’s a big diff between analyst and consultant. I think hoping to be a workstream lead as a new analyst is having your expectations too high (not saying it can’t happen, but new analysts aren’t typically qualified to be leading others yet). I think it’s expected that consultants lead small teams-doesn’t always happen but it’s an expectation of mine that they can.

1 year on my first project out of undergrad before I led the workstream

For me it was 3 months in on my first project. Not leading any reports yet, but I have ownership of my deliverables and I’m presenting to the client at least 2-4 times a week. Just wondering how do i get to the next level.

It sounds like you are doing everything you’re supposed to be doing and doing a good job! I wouldn’t worry about being a “workstream lead”
Or managing the work of others at this point. Just keep kicking ass at your own work and that will lead to food things.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
