Reference calls usually connect you with satisfied customers. That’s intentional. Unhappy clients rarely volunteer. As a result, reference calls confirm comfort, not risk. The real value of references is not praise, but patterns. Ask about delays, escalations, and change requests. Ask what they would do differently. If answers stay vague, that’s information. Honest reflection is more valuable than perfect success stories.

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role).

If your role is being closed/being laid off (not due to performance issues) just firm downsizing, do you tell the companies you are interviewing? How to phrase it?

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

However , social good isn’t pleasing my soul neither is the income . I’ve switched jobs to healthcare where I’m impacting people’s physical and mental health . Still no passion / drive

I feel lost / bored :(

How do you protect your performance when you are being used as a scapegoat? I have turned to emailing and flagging things to senior team members so I have a trail, but I hate calling out peoples lies / mistakes. I am tired of playing along with their false pretenses and getting hit with more work and no support as a result so they can look good.
