Hi Everyone,

I graduated from ISB in 2023 and joined Accenture Strategy directly as a Management Consultant. Despite getting a handsome pay, I am really unsatisfied with the work. I barely work 3-4 hours a day on random stuffs.

I have to forgo my 7L JB if I decide to leave this year and considering MBB's hiring freeze, I am unsure whether to wait or seek a referral right away.

My aim is to reach MBB's and work hard on meaningful things, I am just not sure if the time is right.

Please Advice.

Lol, irrespective of whatever you work on you would be able to write Ex-Mckinsey and crack a crazy exit!!

Anyways, can you suggest me some skills I should work on which you feel would be relevant for projects you do at Mckinsey?

Are tech skills like Gen AI and Blockchain really relevant for strategy consulting projects?

I think you should give it some more time and dont be impatient. You will definitely land some nice work if your team does some decent kind of work.
Not to scare you but let the market settle a little bit and then scout for a change. Upskill yourself diligently meanwhile.

For reference- your yoe and ctc ?

Buddy, it’s random at the moment because they hired you for your aptitude and not skills. I know it’s hard to digest but MBAs straight out of college are hired based on intelligence and not skills. Once you gain more exposure or skills, you will start getting opportunities to work on better projects. Start networking with Ms and SMs a bit more to let them know what kind of work you are interested in.

My advice would be to speak to your CC about this and ask how you can better contribute.

Network with some of the Ms and SMs, build your credentials in BDs and RFPs. Use this as a time to do these other activities or develop some skillsets.

As I understand you have just completed 3 months and you will be soon asked in your probation confirmation to justify your time here in the past 6 months.

Hey man , how's your work life now ?
