Any advice from someone who’s quit consulting without a job (or school) lined up? I’m kinda miserable at my job and know I want to leave soon, but working non-stop makes it difficult to truly assess my next step. I want a little space, especially because I have no interest in going to another consulting firm or FAANG, but I don’t want to sacrifice job or school prospects for a gap.
Context: recently promoted, high-performing SC at 2 year mark; I know Deloitte offers LOA, but can I swing that?

If all the top consulting firms made anonymous decks or gave anonymous pitches to a client, eg no branding and the client did not know which firm made which deck, do you actually think that the client would prefer MBB?  Is MBB actually coming up with better/more innovative solutions? I feel like I see many repeat or slightly altered solutions on almost all of my cases, are these really things that people at Deloitte/Accenture etc aren’t coming up with?

KPMG I’m confused on your referral process. Had a friend refer me before I made an account, made an account, applied to two jobs and got rejected (that’s fine). But if I want to apply to a third job, will it still be under her referral or do I need a new referral? (She said she can’t refer me again for 12 months) I’m not even sure if I applied correctly under her referral. The first two jobs I applied for were through talent community as I normally would without a referral. Help, I’m so lost :(
