Hi! I am a B4 tax staff (soon-to-be senior), and I’m seriously considering management consulting - I think it’s a better fit for my personality and hopefully pays better…so my questions are 1) are consulting firms hiring junior levels at all these days 2) what companies and positions would be my best shot? I think I’ll have a lot of networking to do, so any tips around that would be appreciated. I’m based in California (prefer SoCal over the Bay Area but overall flexible with location)

1) yes, consulting firms are actively hiring. Just like the big4, they need people to keep up with the hot job market.
2) in this very moment, your best chances would be small, maybe boutique consulting firms. The bigger players only tend to hire people from elite undergrads, elite MBAs or people with multiple years in industry with blue chip companies.
Net working will be your best bet as well. Try to get referrals from managers and up to boost your chances of interviews.

Yes, it’s like big 4 vs MM vs boutique accounting firms. They all do the same thing the size of the clients is what really changes

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
