France.

Is it possible to break into the consulting industry with a B2 level in French?

I graduated from a French university one year ago and have been aspiring to work in consulting for a while. However, I am uncertain about the feasibility of achieving this goal with my current level of proficiency in French.

For whatever it's worth, I speak three other languages, two in C2 level and one in A2 level.

Unfortunately France is still a country where you need to speak French to be successful. Other languages are a plus, but French is a must

@author: considered the natives’ English language level & hilarious proficiency, I would say that it’s even possible with a C1 level or below.

Try french speaking countries for a while perhaps. Lux or Belgium for example

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.
My preferences include:
Learning opportunities in the role.
Company's work environment.
Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.
