Sure, I'm being let go tho, so I could advise on how NOT TO do things....lol.

My uncle was in the Air Force. He said networking people above him and below him helped him in the military back then. Not sure if that is still true. But it is true in any consulting company.

Feel free to DM me as well. I was an experienced hire, not a JMO program participant. Since you are a new joiner, you should be pretty safe from layoffs for at least 6 months.

JMO hire here - I would not recommend this program to transitioning JMOs. You can do much better. I wholeheartedly believe in humbling yourself in a new arena but I suggest not joining unless you like being talked down to about things like how to properly “tell a story”

If this is your only option then it’s a great option. Stay here for 18-24 months and make the most of it. Network, get certifications, try to get on interesting projects. If you like it stay, otherwise take your skills and move on.

There’s better options out there IMO.

Great for a transition role but be ready to jump to industry by the 2 year mark.

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.
