Sales experience is relevant for Consulting. I did 2.5 years in sales for an IT services firm before switching to Consulting and my prior experience in a customer facing role selling in complex environments defos helped getting the job and hiring me at a higher level.

OP I'd recommend connecting with people at consulting firms who can refer you, might be worth connecting with in-house recruiters too.

I met an Accenture recruiter at a virtual networking event, sent her my CV expressing that I was interested in a role in consulting, explained my background and skills in a few sentences and she sent over a role that she saw a fit with. 2 interviews later and I had the job, process was super smooth. Network and relationships are key!

With your industry background I'd reach out to people particularly in that industry, potentially also boutique consultancy firms specializing in that industry and not just Big 4 or Tier 2 firms.

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
