Has anyone worked for Forrester as TEI consultant or heard about Forrester consulting? Curious if it is solid experience to have, and noticed the team is very tenured. Forrester

Research and advisory firm - like Gartner, IDC etc. It's a good/fun opportunity if you're interested in market research based roles. Depending on the type of role, it can be quite value added skillset/experience. Most folks stick on those jobs because how the good WLB and often an easy paycheck in your retirement years

You could - depends on the role and level you'd be going in at Forrester. Also, what you make out of the job. I would get into that job to make connections with the clients + get sales experience. In addition, if you're producing thought leadership material (research reports), you're pretty much performing as a consultant with that skillset. What you don't necessarily get exposure to as much is execution I.e. Running live engagements.
