I got screwed over in the review panel this year and didn’t get Exceptional despite my project submitting me as a top performer. I was planning to apply to GSAP next year - are my chances basically dead now?

The 2 yrs of Exceptional is a pretty strict requirement. Some people with strong business cases and only one year of Exceptional got a conditional acceptance, meaning that they would have to get Exceptional the year before leaving for school or their GSAP offer would be revoked.

I kinda disagree with D2. I got GSAP now and know my ratings were not always exceptional but my story and support are very strong.

Feel free to DM me if you'd like to learn more but I think exceptional makes it easier but doesn't disqualify you if you can get a good strong story from your coach and leadership alignment

Following. In the same boat 🤬

retroactive gsap is also an option! i’ve known of two friends who didn’t get the exceptional ratings they needed but they decided to apply to MBA programs on their own. one friend got into kellogg (with a big scholarship) and the other got into booth. both applied for retroactive gsap and I think both of them got it! just another option to consider

I’m actually applying for retro GSAP next year so the plan was to apply for GSAP if I got E this year and next

Hey CF Peeps! As we put 2022 budget/budgeting to bed(ish)… curious as to the changing $ percentages divvied by practice that you mandate/are allowed… IE for every dollar in, how much as a % goes to immediate margin giveback, how much to strategy, how much to creative, how much to client service etc. Anyone actually get a line item for ops/finance? Is it different if you are media vs mass vs shopper vs CRM etc… Help us help you… help us 😋

Hi fishes,

I am a strategy consulting enthusiast from a middle class family. Don't have the financial stability to take a loan for an MBA and hence had to drop some renouned admits this year (Think top IIM's) due to family circumstances. I still dream big and request you to provide some insights for my research:-
1) Average expected package of an associate
2) Average experience expected at ZS to get hired at associate (not BCN)
3) Good books to upskill and ace the consulting case interviews

When you are involved in an agile transformation for a client, do you prioritize advancing the agile maturity or driving the project to successful completion? Sometimes it feels like these things are mutually exclusive, or I need to wear multiple hats and go beyond “agile coach”.

Been working on mostly (about 70%) public sector policy and strategy at Big 4 for most of my career. Often go up against MBB on RFPs and have a decent win rate. Would I be too senior to come in as a lateral hire? I guess it’s all about client networks at this level, and being government, it’s locationally dependent - so which markets have need?
