Switching to consulting right now is super hard since everyone is struggling to keep current employees

Rn it is impossible; this is def a pivot and tougher without an mba to help facilitate the switch but def possible.

Ya know thou everyone on here wants what you have so ask yourself if the grass is really greener in consulting.

Fwiw everyone else is trying to go from consulting to FAANG

Question is why would you want to when the exit is consulting to FAANG.

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.
