Tell your direct supervisor first and follow their instructions. Do not tell the client.

Exactly.

I didn’t tell the client myself even though I was client facing role. Project leadership and PMO delivered the message to the client in the end. Just talk to your supervisor but most likely you won’t be telling the client directly.

Never ever ever tell your client. Everybody listen closely. Allow leadership to control the narrative which includes notifying the client of your backfill. You shouldn't even be breathing the fact that you're leaving in a client space until notifications have been made.

Telling the client first can really ruffle feathers. Avoid doing that unless you like to watch thing burn.

Partner’s tone immediately shifts and as we’re ending the call he says, “Okay, enjoy the time with your family at the civil ceremony.” Like… girl you live in California, you cannot be this backward.

Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
