I wouldn’t put much stock in LinkedIn numbers.

BCG headcount grew 3% from 2023 to 2024, not 8%. And I assume the other numbers are similarly off.

It’s also driven by inorganic growth like acquisitions. So it could be that BCG laid off a lot but also acquired a few more firms!

With that decrease in number of employees, staffing utilization are still on the same level as ‘22 and ‘23. Therefore you could guess …

My favorite part of consulting is helping the consultants I manage improve their public speaking by designing talking points, reducing their fear or anxiety around speaking, and improving their executive presence.

I read about people on this platform needing help in these areas. At the same time, I’ve been wanting to spend more time helping more people with these topics. If anyone would be interested in sharing about their public speaking-related challenges, feel free to DM!
