Background: New to consulting with 5 year industry experience.
Is it normal to feel that you’re constantly disappointing your SM? And what’s with my own peers not being friendly. Not a fan of EY culture so far.

Hard to give any feedback on this without knowing more. I'm assuming you came in a senior. The adjustment period can be very difficult in the first year. Try to adapt to this managers style, get constructive feedback and apply it and realize some people can never be pleased. However, being new to consulting can only be used as an excuse for so long, if the other team members are feeling like they have to pick up your slack, then schedule time within them to learn. Try to network with people outside this current project as culture goes much beyond your direct team.

Anyone witness slackers who got into companies you have no idea how? Had a coworker who does jack chit at work besides chatting on Facebook yet lands at a faang company? I guess if he brings the same work ethic he will be spit out for sure. Or maybe he just had no interest in doing project work.
