Mine. I am a DevOps engineer at a fintech startup, I write server configurations for 45L/y and I work about 10 - 20 hours a week, remotely. I keep thinking they’ve figured out how easy my job is and decided to fire me and then instead they tell me I’m doing a great job and promote me 🤌🏻

Management consultant career progression

Management Consultant

Hi folks, hope you all are having a wonderful day!

I'm in a dilemma and need your expertise!

I'm a senior consultant(mix of business analyst and consultant) at a mid size organization with 3 YOE, 16 LPA from tier 1 college. 

From my understanding I'm entering a stage where i can still pivot to product management, as later on it will be pretty hard!

So my question to you all is that is it worth it to change career or should i climb ladder in consultancy.

I don't really have any passion, my main focus points are money and job security. 

What do you think i should do?, what pays more?, which field has more future opportunities?

Please advice.

Ciao

Hey folks, wanted to understand a couple of things from experienced folks here -

1. What does freelance consulting look like?
2. How to start working in freelance consulting(shadowing/independent projects for free/volunteering etc.)?
3. Are there any hard barriers to entry(YoE, MBA, T1 grad for example)?
4. What platforms should one use to obtain projects that pay decently well - 2-3 hours daily leading to ~30k earnings monthly? If this is an unrealistic expectation, how does the payscale build over time?
5. Any other insights/comments that would affect the decision to work on freelance consulting.

Thanks in advance!

Analyst

Hi all, looking to transition from Analyst to consultant role. Can anyone please guide how to switch from Analyst to consulting role?
No prior consulting experience and no MBA. 

Any guidance is highly appreciated 
Thanks in advance.

Analyst to Consultant

Hi All, 

I’ll start with ‘About Myself’ -
I have 4-years of experience working in a Fintech organisation as a Software Engineer. But .. I hate it. Early in the college itself, I identified that I’m not strong technically (coding, DSA, and all), but, I’m quite good at Consulting / Management / Leadership roles. However, as always, under the peer pressure of my friends, family, and relatives too (yup, I know what you’re thinking) .. I still opted for a Technical line of work.

I realised it early itself that in most of the organisations, DS Algorithms and all won’t be needed. I was asked to work on a specific technology as per my team’s requirements and I did the best possible. I even indulged myself into the the then hot-topic ‘Cloud Computing’. Now, I am a hard-working person and damn I impressed everyone in my team. I’ve received countless awards and appreciations, quarter by quarter. And I’m currently acting as an Unofficial Technical Lead (with just 4 years experience in an MNC) for a team of almost 40 people, helping them with their work and tasks (which I’ve mastered already). But, my own personal growth here has taken a toll as now I am no longer developing anything myself, and neither is my Unofficial role of much value when I look for opportunities elsewhere.

My personal interests are into Management / Consulting roles. I’m even planning and preparing for an MBA degree from outside India next year to pursue the same.

However, till then, my question is .. HOW DO I SWITCHOVER from this technical line of work to Consulting / business / management line of roles (considering the difficulties of me being inexperienced in that line as of today on paper .. and a shift from 4 years of Technical experience to 0 years of Consulting / Management experience should be profitable).

Open to all suggestions and arguments.

The Switchover Problem

Software Engineer

It would be easy to find out who I am if I say anything more but I have worked in cross-collaborative roles across my careers spanning multiple decades in Big4s. I have led several projects for Govt of India and Public Sector Organizations. Personally I have worked in multidisciplinary fields mostly in IT and Databases. I have recently worked in Solution designing and Enterprise Architecture for many large orgs. Most of this is Digital strategy for many offline first businesses.

Consulting Associate

Consulting is often glorified, but it's common to see consultants who spout random facts, offer rationalizations, and underdeliver significantly. The job involves sucking up to seniors and pretending to know things you don't. Admitting ignorance is frowned upon, leading to a culture of covering up. It's a masterclass in office politics, but the notion that consultants add economic value is questionable. Many just take a cut from company profits while demanding overwork and underpaying employees.

Would an entrepreneur, who has built a profitable business from scratch and spent years in the industry, really need the insights, forecasts, and estimates from an MBA, CA, or Engineer who only signals confidence without substance? Consultants, emboldened by business school theories, often believe they add real value. Yet, investors don’t rely much on CA audit reports, and reputable policymakers often disregard consultant insights.

In our fast-changing world, capitalism won't let consultants exploit companies forever. Companies should hire people with more skin in the game, not consultants with little accountability for results.


[PS: I'm still a consultant, & ready to suck up to my seniors for career growth]

Consulting - Scam 2024

I joined CN with some hope to do strategy work after working for long in the Tech Consulting space. But here the work is pathetic and doesn't even come close to the work I used to do earlier. On top of that so many teams by industry , functions and whatnot and such cut throat competition of staffing and credit. What is this madness. All the people who are long timers here have totally no skillset , I can't fathom how they have survived so long here .

Accenture Capability Network is a scam !!

Is there anyone on this platform who has worked/is working in Microsoft Consulting? Looking for information on the type of work & job profiles that come under Microsoft Consulting. Will expand networking/cold outreach efforts, if I find any alignment.

Hi Everyone, I have a very basic question. I hope someone responds. What do 'Consultants' actually do? How does one become a consultant?
