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 ?

In the same boat! The core consulting skills an experienced hire locks can make you feel so ill-equipped because you’re not doing it the way some people have been trained for years. It’s become super frustrating.
It takes at least a year to get better at core consulting skills, so don't be hard on yourself! Keep trying to be proactive and ask for more work to learn.

If you are allocated for more hours on the project, you can always ask for more work. Are you asking for feedback on the work you've completed? If you aren't at 95%+ utilization you can always fill your downtime with more work...
I appreciate the suggestions. I know there are plenty of ways for me to improve my skills and am doing what I think is realistic to do so. The concern is mostly centered on my apparent inability to give as much as I feel capable. Whether that be because of my own limits or the that of the project. I’m just not sure if I’m not pushing hard enough to be involved or if I should accept this apparent limit and that I’m a staff and so I should trust that seniors and managers will provide me what work they feel I am currently equipped for. The concern is that pushing harder can make their job more difficult. I don’t want to be annoying and I think they understand I am here to help.
