Is it worth the effort to apply for consulting jobs now, or wait until the new year? Obviously I expect hiring to be drastically reduced during the holidays, but I'm also worried about the possibility of an accelerating recession and therefore hiring freezes...

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
