Just received an offer from Kearney! feeling excited but also a bit reflective.

I’ve spent ~5 years in industry (internal strategy role), so the transition into consulting is something I’m taking seriously (tbh it does make me very nervous).

Would love to hear from current or former Kearney folks: what’s the real day-to-day like? what surprised you most after joining? any practical advice for someone coming from industry to hit the ground running?

Really appreciate any candid perspectives.

Presuming you’re joining at the Post MBA level, it would be a lot of fun. Depends on the group you align with as well, in the US Strategic Ops can be a grind with MBB hours. Get ready to build some great relationships and good memories, remember to have fun while working hard, if you got the offer you can probably do well, don’t over think it!

Hi Fishes,
I have an experience of 6 years in Production and Application Support. I have worked as middleware administrator as well for Jboss and Weblogic.
But due to the diminishing demands of the role in IT industry , I am planning to switch my career in Devops or AWS which would help me grow.
But I am not sure without any practical knowledge, will I get a job at this many years of experience in a different profile.
Do companies hire for AWS profiles with good packages at beginners level?

Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
