OP - with no degree or formal education qualification + 45 years = higher chances of reluctance of change, ego issues as he may be reporting to much younger generation

45 entering consulting? Not a good entry point - the ageism of being a BA or an SBA or even associate reporting 28 year old mgrs or 30 ur old Principal doesn’t seem right - I would start with a couple of case books and Victor Chang LOMS to gauge his current skill set prior to recommending next course of action

Why are you trying ? Are they interested at all in pursuing this ? I would suggest independent consulting to start with ,in a industry they were an entrepreneur

Terrible idea to get into consulting at 45! My two cents

What level would they be joining at? Does it ale even fiscal sense for them to be looking at partnership (if not already aiming to start as one) in the future? I’m just curious of course not knowing enough about how the partnership financials play out..

Why would someone willingly get into this shit show at the age of 45!

Thanks guys

Jeez Partner 1!! Punkass??!

With experience like that I think he would be a much better fit for a startup or maybe even a product firm. Consulting puts a lot of pressure on you and working with people 20 years younger and with fancy college degrees could put a lot of pressure on him. I’d be curious to know what he ends up doing. Good luck!

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

Signed the offer with a competitor, but multiple bosses tried to persuade me to stay with the planned growth opportunities in sight. Still decided to leave, and got "wishing you all the best". Guilty much, I love working with the team, but just want to get better progression and pay.

Anyone feels guilty in my shoes? Is returning to the firm a common scenario? Just worried that things might not work out in new firm
