Hey everyone m! Merry Christmas. Is it possible to get into consulting without consulting experience? All posting I see require experience. How does one land a role like that at a Deloitte, gartner, KPMG, etc?

I disagree with both posters. I know numerous people without consulting experience who are now consultants. If the experience and skills are related to the role responsibilities then the applicant should be fine.

Not really, consultants are usually experts in their field and being able to work as one requires a track record of success and years of experience. That's what makes them so valuable. Merry Christmas!

If you've been working in the industry for a while and are looking to become a consultant your best bet is to look into becoming part of a consulting firm, find a mentor or network with people who have that job. It's a highly desirable position so it won't be that easy. Merry Christmas to you as well!

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join.

It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
