Consulting promises steep learning curves and career growth but the path in is opaque, and the reality can be brutal. Having worked for 8 years across leading consulting firms, I'll cut through the noise and give you real-world guidance you won't get from prep books or YouTube videos.

What we can cover:

  1. Breaking in: CV reviews, case prep, interview strategies, and networking approaches that actually open doors
  2. Life in consulting: Honest perspective on long hours, client pressures, travel, and how to genuinely thrive (not just survive)
  3. Career growth: Building relationships, developing executive presence, and navigating promotions from day one
  4. AI in consulting: How GenAI is reshaping client delivery and analysis - and how to position yourself ahead of the curve

Perfect for aspiring consultants, first-year hires, or anyone wondering if this career is right for them. Expect candid, practical guidance - not a polished pitch.
