For those that came from industry what did you think consultants did? I’ve had 2 former clients approach me about getting referrals to my firm. Also during an interview, this guy said I had a really “cool job” and that most of his team was ex consulting so he would like to join on day.

Having worked directly with consultants, I knew what they did. I knew what I would dislike. I joined because of the ability to live anywhere.

Serious question: do I *need* MBB on my resume to have good exit ops from consulting? I have an M7 MBA, but struggled to land interviews because I didn’t have big brands on my resume (confirmed by recruiters). I wouldn’t be surprised if most/all F100 and FAANG hired MBB only.

Hello! I just passed the patent bar a couple of months ago so I'm applying to my first patent agent roles.

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.
