I got a Boston Consulting Group employee to refer me. Got the referral link instantly but I can't seem to see any AC roles on the Job posting site. My link was some brassring referral link and it had some 807 openings but no AC roles. I have reached back to my contact to figure out what's up with this. Anyone from the firm has any idea or any candidate had a similar experience ? My referee didn't ask me for any office preference or anything just fyi.

Any thoughts on the Schwarzman Scholars program?
...because they don’t want to be a software engineer or a dev?
In my experience, developers are treated like overhead cost and considered replaceable by most companies (excluding tech companies and startups). In consulting, you generate profit and are a valuable resource.
When I was in my 20s, I loved programming. Multiple languages, multiple platforms/stacks. Over time, I realized that I could use my background to multiply productivity by directing a delivery team. Now I'm a TA, and love solving problems from a 10,000 foot view, but able to deep dive as needed. I always had the soft skills, so the transition was easy for me. As I've gained experience, I have less interest in mindlessly repetitive tasks, and when I've programmed something a hundred times with just slight tweaks, it stops being interesting/challenging. Interacting with people never gets boring. Frustrating, sure. But not boring.
Thanks for the obvious answer 👏🏻 I mean for the people who come in and are still doing dev work in consulting
Doing that right now and I am already leading engagements, so its definitely faster growth than if I were to stay in industry not to mention that I'm trying for B-School.
What @P1 said. I joined consulting because I knew I was bad with people and wanted to get better at it, and because I wanted to travel. I like my work and still enjoy the travel but thinking back, maybe I should have just taken the money instead and paid for travel out of my own pocket with the extra money. Oh well, such is life.
The best Solution / Product Owners are those who understand the business needs, clearly translate them to technical teams and call out anyone inbetween the two who try to bullshit them.
@D1 - the blockchain practice at PwC can help..drop a burner and I’ll send contact info
I joined Consulting because I wanted to be able to work on a variety of diff projects in a short amount of time. Ive definitely learned a lot faster in Consulting than I would’ve if I had stayed in an industry dev job. And I don’t know why my spell check makes the c in Consulting uppercase
Consulting can be a cushy job that pays well over the long term
@DD2 - we're looking for a dev enthusiast that can help our team develop a blockchain solution in a blockchain competition event. Do you know anyone that would be able to help us?

Because they couldn't get a FANG or similar engineering role, so consulting is the lesser of two evils vs going into a crappy company
D1, sounds interesting. Internal team or external? I would love to lend a hand and even perhaps get you hooked up with others. hrfi7@slipry.net
