Consultant work seems efficient because you are working on a limited scope , timeline and you are forced to get your deliverables done no matter the hours. Executing the SOW is bread and butter for consulting firms. So commitment from FTE will depend on how important it if for the client ,when it comes to their bottom line. That’s why compliance projects tend to get a lot of attention while transformation (unless highly visible ), don’t.

All SOWs are existential for you. All scope might not be for them

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
