Delayed onboarding across consulting firms (MBB too)

It seems like the bear market effects are down upon consulting firms now too

Got to know from multiple people that were joining top consulting firms that their onboarding is deferred by 6 months (across places like Bain, McK etc)

Already enough existing employees aren’t on active cases, and so it seems like they’ve hired more than there is demand for cases, people who have actually been sitting on the bench for months

If demand does not return, this could really stack up and lead to a problematic situation
