I was an Associate implementation Consultant at Oracle, took a gap for Masters and now have a hard time finding a job in consulting.

Is it too much saturated now or am I doing something wrong? I’m thinking of pivoting in AI consulting, but any other suggestions would be appreciated. Been searching for a job for the past one year in UK (international student).

Nobody’s hiring “AI consultants” out of nowhere.

The play is to bolt AI onto what you already know. You’ve got Oracle? Pitch yourself as the person who makes Oracle less painful by layering AI for automation, forecasting, and reporting.

Start publishing your stories and show how AI could’ve saved the day…and talk about what the MBA didn’t teach you about AI, given your actual project experience.

That’s how you stand out.

And as an international, remember sponsorship is an ROI call. Firms won’t risk it at the junior level unless you can

prove you’ll drive revenue or save them money. The MBA on its own won’t save you, but Oracle + AI + thought leadership from failed go-lives could.

Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
