I just replied to that post. I’m sure it will be shut down. #igotus
Plenty of that everywhere. I have an MD and. Director that are running a team of 16 in a crappy way. Both young’uns. They think they know everything but the teams are disorganized and people are miserable.
.. typical. Tearing someone else down to pump themselves up.
This is sad. I’m probably considered an underachiever at Uncle D – I’m a 40+ SC that (I believe) is younger than my direct P and MD. I haven’t really gotten any negatives from my age from them (although Cs and SC on my project were aggro about finding out – figure this is normal), but this is the first place where it *seems* to be an issue. Only upside is I don’t look anywhere near my age.
Reading now makes me think I should put more emphasis on my exit strategy: put two and two together and believe I can’t make P. However, MD seems still achievable and that’s more than ok with me.
D1 making it up the consulting isn’t about age if you’re bringing in sales. At the end of the day that’s all that matters to these firms. Even if your delivery sucks but you’re closing deals, you can find people to deliver for you. Do t let stories like that deter you.
I literally -just- started my consulting career after transitioning out of academia, at age 40. I don’t feel like I’m at a great disadvantage to the “young ‘uns” and in several instances already have felt like I have a serious leg up. Glad the hiring process at my firm was able to see past my undergrad completion date, but I hope my age isn’t really the albatross some folks are making it out to be.
