Like all consultancies they sell themselves as “cheaper and more nimble” than agencies. What they are though, is a mess. “Smoke and mirrors” doesn’t even begin to describe them.

I’ve heard the pay is fantastic, but that it’s quite highly demanding and super political.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
