Hi!
I am a recent undergraduate from Delhi University. I have consistent good grades and decent internships and PORs. Can someone guide me on how to break into front-end consulting roles at top firms? (I am from a non-target school).
Also, is joining Knowledge Teams at BCG a good start?

Knowledge Centres are backend for Consulting folks. But it's difficult to move to Consulting from backend. You need to perform very well and impress your partner and manager

Can you guide me on how I will be able to make the switch? Can I approach front end consultants once I join the firm for guidance and extra work to help with the switch?

I joined IBM around year ago.
i have 9 YOE and i was given band 7A saying its lead role.
However in project i was treated as team member l. Initially i was okay as i thought i will be familiar with environment and later will take more responsibility.
But then they gave me release after few months.
No hike also this year.
Future also seems unclear as i feel low self-esteem seeing collegues my experience earning well and having better roles.
I really think joining IBM was wrong decision.
