Biggest challenge I have with consulting - dealing with ambiguity. I feel like I never fully grasp what is going on or what I should be doing/what is expected. Any tips on how to adjust post-military?

Find a lot of materials from your offering. As you read through the different decks you will see patterns and it will help understand overall consulting core concepts. And pick out the best visual representations because you will leverage them when building out your decks.
Use your SM, Manager, or SC (depending on what level you came in) and try to follow a 20% and 80% check in when working on a work stream. The 20% check in will verify you are on the right path and the 80% will help with overall story.
Good luck!

Agree with M1. Try to also find a good “buddy”. Ideally one year ahead of you. That person will have fresh tips on how to make it through and you can ask super dumb questions (trust me I did and they were really dumb).
