I worked at a consultancy akin to the B4. A significant number of “consulting” jobs there are really just staff aug. projects - incredibly dull imo. You really have to get into the right divisions if you really want to consult (EYParthenon, Monitor Group, Deloitte S&O, Strategy& ...)

Also, go client facing 100% - going from BO to FO is an uphill battle. There is no real comfort in the BO, the B4s will sweat you at any opportunity at 50% salary.

Any tips for building a client base from scratch? I’m a 4th year associate at a firm of 12 attorneys. I practice in business, compliance, and real estate (primarily on partners’ files) and don’t litigate. Most of the partners’ clients are wealthy friends or friends of friends (not my circle). Associates are not referred business, even cold calls, and so far “networking” events like Chamber of Commerce luncheons have been a bust. I equate a book to autonomy and career choice and pressure is on.

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work.

Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?
