Chill out. Seriously.
Industry is more of a routine than consulting, and people don’t like outsiders coming in and disrupting the routine with their over-enthusiasm. Lay back and learn the routine before you start throwing ideas out there.
Being overeager is typically counterproductive in industry, I learned the hard way
YUP, it's slower. Time to kick back and relax. Maybe join the local kickball team.
Relax, you probably won’t actually start doing any real work for 2-4 weeks. That’s just how industry works. Just make sure you do all your trainings now until then
You’re not at Deloitte anymore. You don’t have to worry about someone coming to axe you if you don’t create value.
Which firm OP?
Thanks everyone I guess I’ll calm down and stop worrying about not contributing my first few days. I’m used to going to a new client and immediately having meetings with stakeholders within the first hour, then making slides about whatever we discussed... aka constant churn
Yeah it’s a slower pace. You request info that takes an hour to put together and it takes them 3 weeks to get it to you. And everyone is just kind of cool with that.
Try the industry bowl, not consulting #knowyouraudience
