@MBB fishes.
My understanding is that mostly MBBs hires generalists (MBAs, JDs, Phd) for core consulting role. My question to you guys is:

Also, wanted to say that I’m very disappointed in the Canadian job market. How many ex-consultants can work at the few finance or energy employers? Competition is vicious (oversupply of talent - especially now) and most exit options don’t even look appetizing...

Please correct me if my thinking is wrong.

So got some more info on some research...first 4-5 year consulting experience are still considered generalist, and can find exits in other industries. 8-10+ are probably tied to the industry, but it's better to be in same industry where you have experience.

Thank you so much!

It feels like everyone has gotten so down on advertising. You can still make great work for great brands at great agencies. You can still do things you’re proud of. And fill your portfolios with beautiful things. And have great impact. And collect shiny awards and enjoy great after parties after it. And see your commercials on TV during the Super Bowl. It’s still a great way to make a living if done right. And craft services is still tasty. You just have to make the right career moves.

Do sales expectations vary between strategy focused vs implementation focused consulting practices?

Context: in my previous gig I focused on strategy & I didn’t feel like Ms were being pushed to make sales all the time, but I was further away from that level. In my current (staff aug) gig, leaders seem to focus less on assessing whether the client really needs us/ how we can help, and more on making a sale. Is this difference a result of the type of work each team sells?
