Did I mess up by coming back to consulting? Recent MBA. Interned at T2. No return, was told I'm an analyst-level w/no strategic/communication skills. With no job, I panicked and re-recruited and found myself at an MBB this Aug. I am so anxious I'm in the wrong place. I was a high performer at my prior role (F500 chemicals) w/ a strong enough network to return to industry if needed. Do I stay in consulting when I've been written off already? Or go back for less $ but higher chance of success?

I recently joined TW some months back and I dont know why I think have made a wrong choice for myself. I am feeling like I am lost. I am not able to fit in in this high expectations environment. I am used to working in a place where we always worked by taking help from others and here it is sort of assumed that we would be knowing everything right from day 1. Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.
