Are there resources you would recommend for learning the lingo and methodology used by management and strategy consultants? Like “consulting 101” for people from industry who are now in consulting firms? I’m in an internal role and everyone around me is a former consultant. I’m having a hard time acclimating. Thank you!

Check out some videos on YouTube. But in my experience (I was in Corp role before moving to consulting), that consulting advantage is a bit temporary. So don’t sweat too much if you pick up on the right terminologies a couple months later than someone.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
