Do MBB or Big 4 ever hire external consultants for internal firm projects? If so. Why?

Like contractors? I’m sure they do.
The why would probably be money.

Like Deloitte hiring another consulting firm to work on something internal instead of just having internal ppl work on it

Yes, we do.

We have hired McKinsey and Accenture recently (last few years)

Yea, we need to see what big blue’s return policy is

Pretty sure my firm hired McKinsey to tell leadership that you can't win the race to the bottom with bodyshops, and that digital is all the rage these days.

That will be $1m.

Yes, deploying our own consultants on internal work is not always cost effective and not always interesting to those being staffed internally. Sometimes hiring it out makes more sense, particularly in specialized areas like software implementation, marketing/branding etc. Internal strategy and org work is done in-house though.

PwC outsources our help desk to Infosys.

I'm a recent grad who accepted an entry-level full-time job offer with Capital One.

Plan to go to B-school in 3 years (1 year out of UG now). Long term goal is entrepreneurship. Have offers at a MBB firm for a generalist consultant role and at FAANG for a strategy role. FAANG offer is slightly higher (though both are a 50+% bump on my current comp). Both would have me reset to entry level. Which one should I take?

Anyone heard good things about CFGI? I’ve heard their comp structure is gimmicky with overtime pay. But if I could make the same base there as I do in big 4 with the chance of some overtime pay is it worth it to give it a shot?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?
