Awesome, let me put down that I referred you too. If they don’t get the job oh well you done all you can to help, if they do, referral bonus.

“Good luck”

I swear people think we’re magic because we work at a firm.

A referral, at least at MBB, is an endorsement/recommendation of the person you’re referring. Unless you believe the person can cut it, don’t do it. It’s wasting interviewers’ time and the firm’s money and will hurt your credibility and how future referrals are viewed if your referrals aren’t getting offers.

Lol such a subtle way of asking for help. Have a chat with them and see if they really cut it. If so, then do what you can to help. Being kind and helping others is always the answer.

I am beyond stuck in my first 1.5 years of my career.

I was over promised opportunities at my first gig and then Covid hit. Leading me to have no portfolio worthy pieces from this 💩 agency with nothing great in sight. (place hasn’t won a pitch in my entire time here + lost clients)

I’m juggling re-vamping my site and a side project to hopefully make my book more robust.

With no kind of leadership or mentor, I’m just figuring out how to dig myself out of this hole. Any advice for this chump?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. 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.
