The canvas board seems good for basic items but seems like it could be counter productive to pen and paper for more complex calculations?

You’re going from director to consultant?

3 YOE, cushy title and pay haha

It’s all about luck tbh

Make sure to drive the case and have a perspective (hypothesis). Show excitement about getting insights and new information and be curious. Easier said than done, I know lol.

This is helpful! Thanks!

Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

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. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). 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.
