Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

AC is a tough role, you’d be expected to be hands on with all analysis and work, good thing is that rn majority of the firm is underutilized so you’ll have a good few months to onboard yourself unless your project is tough
If a PhD has never been put in front of a client like that then I’d hesitate to have them as a C tbh. This is the business world - it’s going to be different and we want to make sure you’re positioned for success.
PhDs frankly for us have been hit or miss. All the best. Average is 50 hrs/week. Nice people. Collaborative culture. Local model. No Tue-Thu travel model —> aka can sleep in your own bed most of the nights. Fractional staffing model i.e. you will work on more than 1 project at a time. Boston office location is nice. Downtown 28th floor.
The ‘hit or miss’ belief is actually a myth that we’re trying to bust! I was on a team that looked at our data and found PhDs do quite well at ZS as a group, which is why we’ve increased our hiring numbers significantly in the past ~year.
You should have come as a consultant, you were under hired. If you have a PhD you should be a C. I’ve seen masters students come as ACs
Worth asking around
It’s possible to be a PhD with significant work experience and come in as a manager or even a principal, but in that case your leveling wouldn’t really have anything to do with your PhD. Historically, the majority of PhDs have come in as ACs; I’ve looked at the data so I know this is true. Like I said, this has been changing recently and there are specific circumstances under which PhDs can be considered for a C level hire.
I’d be happy to chat about WLB and culture as a PhD if you want to DM me!
Meant for this to be a dm

I don’t think charging more hours is necessarily favored (most of my projects are fixed rate, so we aren’t earning more), but getting more work done is definitely favored.
Regardless, you can be highly valued without working so many hours.
what is your practice area? This does matter. I am new as well but I am actually working with no one from the same office.
Not many people in the same practice area as mine are located in bos
