Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

I was on a project where an analyst interviewing for a role on the team had a passion outside work that required them to sign out 6-8pm a few days a week but they said they'd always communicate where the work was when they needed to sign off and they'd log back in at 8pm to finish anything time sensitive. My senior leader was so put off by this and asked me why I'd want this person on my team. 😃
The analyst left 6 months later for a job most people would think was a downgrade. But I was so happy for them.
I remember when I was just out of school my uncle’s best friend (very drunk, but very successful) told me I would do great in consulting because I was smart, delightful, and had a crushing fear of failure. 🥰
Insecure overachiever trying to compensate my lack of inner self worth with "career success" and by pretending I'm smart and people listen & care about what I say at work.
I have also had this theory for a few years. We’re also in a desperate search for acceptance and thus bend over backwards to make it work.

Is it possible some people have mental toughness?
There are people who build high rise buildings, work at hundreds of feet high. Not everyone can do it but those guys are built differently.
The number one path to wealth: externalizing self worth into financial accomplishments
I wanted to go into consulting because I had no family to miss while traveling. Put me on the road - I’ll live in a hotel room anywhere there’s a gym and a client.
Honestly get me outta NJ
The word is Masochism
Came from undergrad and I think that matters too — some schools the culture / understanding is “IB or Consulting” or nothing lol
There's something a little wild about seeing people describe consulting as a field for mental toughness. What percentage of consultants have ever dropped below the top layer of Maslow's hierarchy in their entire adult lives?
Interesting
Sounds about right
It seems I don't want to get feedback because it makes me feel people are critical of me?
You got that based on a single line?
Maybe, but I think the industry is big enough to have people from all walks of life.
