If I’m a consultant at a no name firm, how much harder do I have to work to get recruiters’ attention? Does my job description/role carry me at all? New to this.

Yes. Your resume still carries weight. Especially if you have some of the so called hot skills. AI, cloud, cyber etc. it’s tougher that way - but don’t be disheartened

OP, don’t be hard in yourself I was at a no name LSHC consulting firm for a few years and just this year transitioned to Deloitte. Being at Deloitte is very rewarding specially as a LSHC Consultant and journey to Deloitte was an enriching experience. Folks from smaller firms do a lot of work and are not afraid to take on work. DM me if you want to chat more and find a good fit for you at Deloitte.

Totally. And there are advantages to being from a smaller shop - you’ve not had banks of analysts to rely on, and probably make your own slides and excel. If you’re moving to industry or a start up your ability to get things done without a huge machine behind you is something to emphasise - it can make you flexible, entrepreneurial and innovative.

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
