The irony of asking others for advice on how to be innovative.

You can only be “creative or innovative” if you have fundamentals of casing down pat. If you’re shaky on frameworks, math, etc. there is no excess capacity in your mind to think of second order implications. Be solid on basics and the rest follows

No short term fix, but I think reading non-fiction and being up to date on business news can help. Being able to draw real life connections or pick analogies for cases can be one way to get your creative juices flowing.

Here is the TLDR LEK doesn’t suck post.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)
