If your going to consulting I would say that all of your current skills are already enough. Network, know the firm, practice case, have a good story to tell, and you should be fine.

Your skills are pretty much up to par, so I would try to network or find a referral to one of these companies you're interested in. I think looking through university alumni and reaching out to one of them on LinkedIn is a good start.

I agree that networking is the way to go, but in addition, I have a few suggestions:

Admittedly, having an internship on your resume will have you a competitive edge, but it's not the end all be all. If you can prove you have some real-world or hands-on experience, you can still shine through in the initial screening process and then prove yourself in an interview. For me, I focused on building a portfolio of data science projects/articles on github and medium (specifically towards data science) to show that I knew what I was doing and could apply the skills even though I didn't have a structured internship.

A friend of mine was broken up with right as I was getting in a relationship. She’s very down so when we hang out, I typically don’t bring him up/share details the way I normally would. She’s only met him at 3 group events over 2 months & she’s been very accusatory of him if we show up late for any reason. It feels like she’s projecting all of her negative feelings onto him. I don’t want to walk away from a friendship, but it seems like she just wants me to be single again. Any advice?

Fellow millennial lawyers: tell me, in general terms, 1 or 2 clients you acquired and how you acquired them.

Seems to me to that most business development comes from long-standing contacts (e.g. your childhood best friend is now CEO and needs legal services), so I’m curious how other attorneys developed business.
