New to the job, can’t tell if I’m bad at consulting or that I’m new and learning. Tough question to roll around

Being self aware that you don't know things is exactly where you want to be when you start out. Forces you to push yourself and learn. Over time, you will gain confidence.

Stick with it.. this is an exciting career if you want it to be

I'd say both, but not in a harsh way. You probably suck at it precisely because you're new and learning. I certainly know I did. That's expected.. It gets better with reps; that is the learning process. If you had the intrinsics and background to get in, you most likely have what it takes to succeed. Don't be afraid to ask for coaching and help. It's tough in these times, but still essential. Hang in there!

Be kind to yourself. There’s always a learning curve. How long have you been in consulting? How long have you been in this position/at that company? Do you have prior experience in your current client’s industry? You may just be ramping up in multiple areas at the same time
