Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

Feedback is a gift
Give it time. When I worked at EY the imposter partner was the supreme version. I left to accept a VP role and b..t..h imposter was convicted by the IRS. Poetic Justice served.
Take the feedback on its merit , acknowledge, update and move on. Or wait for your “superior” to tell you the same. You are working in an industry that is all about minor font nonsense, better learn now to accept your mistakes and improve on them.
Are they right? Best way to shut it down is to clap back when they are wrongly correcting you.
Otherwise, you should reciprocate to find issues with their work as well.
Say thank you and move on. If it’s slowing down progress, I usually say something like can we focus on the bigger picture here that usually hurts a little bit when it’s coming from a more junior resource

What is it specifically you don’t like? When they tell you are wrong or the fact that you are wrong?
It’s their way of maintaining control and ensuring you know who you report to. They are insecure and feel powerful when they do this. Just say “good eye” or “thanks for catching that” and move on. The key with these types of people is you will never get them to focus on the bigger picture bc they get joy out of tearing others down to elevate themselves. After 2-3 times, do a read of the material by yourself from his perspective (remembering the prior things he called out) or upload to Claude or ChatGPT and have it suggest nitpicky things so you can catch before your mgr does.
They either think they’re giving feedback or they have an issue with you or your impact on them. Deep down they’re insecure and compensating or threatened.
