Laid off around 3 months ago due to COVID from a global consulting firm as an analyst and having a hard time pivoting back into consulting. I had <1 YOE but still have a great relationship with my previous managers. I worked in project sales support/project management roles. Is it the timing or is there something else I can do (ie study for certs)? I enjoyed the work and varied project culture of consulting.

Yes. There’s a ton of skills (certs), you can learn. Suggest being open to other options outside consulting.

I am sorry that your old firm did this to you. It is already Dec and you might see more openings next year. Check out campus hiring as well as you have <1 YOE.

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.
