You can do it but you have to be really damn talented. “So many” seems like a stretch, but time (like all consulting firms) and expectations (unique nuance of our performance model) moves at lightning speed here. I was standalone on projects 6 months in.
Amazing that you’re standalone on projects 6 months in. I’m at a tier-2 strategy house, 6 months in.. and it seems they don’t trust us to even run short client 1-on-1 meetings, leaving it to the post-MBA levels.
Wish the expectations were more similar to McK. Want to grow faster.

Whats the tole exactly?
The ones who are lighting fast are rare as a share of their BA cohort, but less rare as a share of their AP cohort (since those tend to make it further, faster)
Also, what does it take to be a rockstar at one of these firms? I mean everyone is smart for the most part, so what gives those people the “edge”?
