Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

I’d take the role over trying to be independent in this climate. But I’ve always been more risk adverse
I did it in a round about way
I left a big4 and started my own shop as an independent but also working with some other independents and small shops that I knew
I left and went to another client and previous client requested that I be brought back.
Stress was different and for me, it was better but there was more fundamental management responsibility on me. Money was way way better.
Have you considered being an independent consultant could be more stressful? If you don't successfully sell and deliver work, your income is zero.
That’s pretty sweet - just giving insight from what I’ve seen from other public companies
Take the role WHILE you develop your business plan for being independent. The economy is not looking too hot and you don’t want to leave yourself open to lack of income.
The only way I’ve seen non-compete circumvented in the past is you client/new employer paying a fee to your current firm; this may even have been specifically outlined in your MSA/PSA. Typically the fee is something like 1 year of your current pay.
I did it the opposite way, it was dope and I made good money. Would do it again after getting more years as a FTE for credibility
I have also done this. Beware hidden costs. You’ll need to pay self employed tax of 6% that your employer now pays. You’ll also need to pay for 100% of your healthcare. Some clients may mandate E&O insurance as part of indemnity. You may need help with tax prep or licensing depending on the services offered and State. You’ll quickly see the gap narrows and you may have big personal risk if a project goes sideways.
