Hey fork, I wouldn’t be worried
You will be fine.
OW does not often make hiring mistakes. You were hired for your capability to learn and think critically, not for your existing skills.
However, do not call your colleagues forks.
You’re there to learn, not to lead streams and produce slides that decide direction on projects. Don’t try super hard to impress people with your work hours and sending emails after hours on the weekend. Communicate well, and enjoy your time.
I identify as a spoon, so you’re already starting on the wrong foot. You got an offer for a reason. People are firms greatest assets in consulting. You’ll get training, you’ll get mentorship, you’ll evolve as a consultant in the job. Trust the process, and enjoy learning along the way. Don’t be afraid to try new things just to avoid making mistakes.
Wood spork here - good luck!

You will be fine. OW is all about protecting CCG and destroying experienced hires.
Could you elaborate please
Show ownership. My biggest issue as a manager are junior staff who think it's my role to tell them verbatim every word that goes in every box of every slide. If you're given a task, clarify the ask. As you work, pay attention to detail - simple things like typos and formatting are things you should always get right. Reach out to peers on the team and proactively set up time with your supervisor(s) to review.
I'll go out of my way to coach and mentor someone who shows initiative as described above.
Don't take criticism personal unless it is actually personal (e.g. someone calls you stupid - which is obviously 100% not acceptable). Your slides, analysis and even emails will constantly be reviewed, criticized and revised and reviewed and criticized some more. It's the norm, not a testament to the quality of your work.
OW is a good firm. They like you and hired you because you are good. Time to wake up and smell the roses.
I’m an AP with a masters degree from a second tier European university and I have been fine.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
I was super excited about the offer but as time goes by, I was getting scared so your words gave me such a relief!
Think strategically about the skills and experience you acquire. Listen carefully. Pay attention to who are the influencers within the organization.
How did you do on the OW cases?
By adding this, one of the reasons interviewer liked my approach is not to follow simple framework people are trying to memorize and instead I tried to give more deep hypothesis for the case topic.
I think many applicants tend to rely too much on the framework instead of thinking about ‘the central issue’ of the topic.
That makes me differentiate from other candidates. Also I have math backgrounds with some academic research experience that might give a good impression of being able to handle quantitative and analytical mindset.
Hope this helps!
