My goal is product management and I am currently a strategy consultant with 3 YOE (not technical), but this seems like a possible path toward that goal.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
