We are all the same. We bid on the same projects, we sell to the same clients, we have the same requirements.
Could I DM you for more details on EY?
Consulting is where you leverage existing AI/DS skills to expand into business development and strategy skill pack (sales, marketing, influence, much more rarely even leadership, etc) and move on. You are much better off, if you also have some side gig or push a certain hypothesis of an idea that requires leveraging ML/DS. That way you are independent of firm's projects. Long term consulting is a bad place to be, if you are looking to stay and expand in AI. The only exception is specialized tech consulting, which is none of the big names, and even then there will be projects for billability. Depending on your stage of professional development, my advise to you would be to either go to an AI startup, big tech with AI in heart or create a side gig leveraging AI.
Ultimately, consulting industry aims to do the minimum necessary work to keep milking the client irrespective of client's success or failure and if the client dies, consulting moves to the next account. Ofc consulting squeezes harder before the client or program dies out. There's a reason there are 50 MM business cases that shoot into 400 MM stratosphere. Also, more radical innovation (e.g. first principles vs incremental) will never be interesting for consulting, since it requires a lot of effort and talent, yet consulting strives on 80-90% monkey workforce. No truly talented techy has ever found themselves working for MBB or below. This is my experience having worked in tech and business consulting for over 5 years now, including a tenure at Deloitte and having worked together with literally every big consulting firm. You can accept it and parasite your way more effectively and at larger scale as you grow in your career, or leave and do good elsewhere.
