What industry or niche? As A1 said, you can get some pretty great insights online once you know what companies you're applying for. If you give us an idea of the kind of consulting you'll be doing, though, we might be able to point you in the right direction.

I heard from a professor that LinkedIn has a case prep class. But I don't know the price or details yet. I also used an old work email to get a professional account on here, so I follow a Case Prep bowl.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!
