Boston Consulting Group my friend is looking at a role in the Climate & Sustainability practice. Does the PL role require prior consulting experience? I’d imagine so but the job description didn’t mention it.

Depends on the office if it’s technically required but to be honest it’s hard to get an interview without consulting experience and even harder to succeed as a lateral PL hire without it. In general, for laterals with no consulting experience, expert track roles are often better fits

like

Yes

I think a lot of BCGers agree that lateral PL will most likely end in a lose-lose situation

Why is this?

Yes

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
