Genuine question: If so many opportunities want YOE in consulting, how does one pivot into consulting...if so many consulting EH roles require specific prior experience? 😕

Unfortunately, using a graduate degree to pivot into consulting isn't an option, and the majority of students who recruit for consulting don't get it anyway. I just feel trapped and regret the choices I made as an 18-22 year old.

Consulting exit opportunities is an odd place for a question about entry opportunities.

I got into consulting out of MBA. From school is the most obvious route though firms will hire technical skillsets. Cyber is a good example of one where technical experience can be leveraged to pivot in.

No point in ruminating on old decisions though. We all have our own life paths.

Haha you're not wrong. I just figured I'd try here since the community here is pretty responsive.

Great advice, thank you, kind stranger! Do you mind if I DMed you about ~2 MBA-related questions?

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!

How do you as the attorney balance your advice with your client’s wishes? Meaning when what the client wants is not, in your opinion, in their best interest, when they want to settle for less “to be done,” or pay more “to get him out of the house,” when do you stop pushing back and give in? I’ve lost at least one client before for pushing too hard to get what they were entitled to when they wanted to give in and I’m fear I’m facing something similar now.
