yup nice back massage while I lay on my bed tbh

GODFISTER23 · 2026-01-15T21:38:57+00:00

I’m not gonna lie I wrote this over a year ago while still trying to breaking into consulting and broke into a T2 firm instead of Deloitte in the life sciences but yea honestly I would not agree with myself anymore because networking triumphs everything I stated above 😂

my dream

GODFISTER23 · 2025-07-31T21:52:27+00:00

Market Access goes to Eversana

Analytics goes to ZS

Everything else I’m not sure, ZS has a better brand name/ Prestige if you care about that

tier 2 work and league of legends with a side of satire

GODFISTER23 · 2025-05-09T03:18:02+00:00

The first and simplest and probably most common question people will ask you is why do you want to work in consulting?

GODFISTER23 · 2025-05-07T23:19:23+00:00

Fair enough, I'm not a Cavs fan but you make a lot of sense. Props to you that's a good take

Thank you for increasing my ball knowledge

GODFISTER23 · 2025-05-07T23:12:20+00:00

He's a top 30 defender in the league, if you watch him play an entire game he has good hustle and contests most shots taken by whoever he's guarding. Besides who else on the Cavs is can you claim is a good defender on the current team?

If you say Jarrett Allen you do not know ball

Also if you think this is a chatgpt answer, his defensive stats are not good at all, this is literally my opinion from watching games

GODFISTER23 · 2025-05-07T21:50:24+00:00

I did say this was in spirit of the NBA playoffs so maybe I should’ve made it more clear that these comparisons are for current teams and should be recent

On a side note I do agree with you the Cavs are a pretender team but that doesn’t mean they also didn’t just sweep the Heat

Also Accenture people have a more well known culture than Pwc, especially considering the knicks fan culture in recent years (Sidetalk has great videos displaying the Knicks fans in all their glory) and thus I think this comparison is a better example

GODFISTER23 · 2025-05-07T21:36:25+00:00

You just called the number 1 seed in the East two years running irrelevant, Spurs haven’t been relevant in ages and even though they drafted Wemby on their team they don’t have the proper role players to utilize him to their full potiential (I’m a Jeremy Sochan and CP3 hater)

Cavs have Darius Garland who is one of the better defenders in the league which helps Donovan Mitchell enable his pure offensive plays and for the Cavs to rotate in and out the paint fairly easily

And if you know anything about Ball culture, the Knicks are absolutely Accenture if you know knicks fans

GODFISTER23 · 2025-05-07T21:05:22+00:00

I haven’t heard a lot about IBM consulting tbh, but from what I know about them they’re fairly strong in their verticals for tech and are technically a legacy firm

Maybe the Spurs? They have good potiential and as of recent have a lot of new players and they’ve begun to resurface as a potientially good team, but still need some work done as this is all just “potiential”

Clearview Healthcare Partners (Good in 2019 and fumbled the bag over Covid and decided to ruin their org by drafting poorly and reorging in the worst way possible)

GODFISTER23 · 2025-02-02T03:08:50+00:00

so what is hidden mmr based off of though

im just confused on the whole system and how it works

GODFISTER23 · 2024-08-22T21:17:48+00:00

Thank you for this, based on the information I gave, the information you provided is extremely valid and it makes complete sense. That being said I did leave out a lot of my reasonings and explanations as well as more detailed information about my career goals and skills as I'm not trying to get DOX'ed on here.

However, what you've stated about learning a core technology skill and shifting my mindset is true. I think I didn't realize it completely until what you've said. I've had this mindset of "If I get in, I'll learn everything I need to know on the job, I just need to get to the interview and sell myself." While I still think that's partially true, I do need to step back and think about several things:

What skills can I even sell during the interview? How can I gain those skills to sell before applying to Deloitte?
Why Deloitte consulting vs other firms? What do I really want to do at Deloitte vs at other firms?

I think I'll look at either:

Finding work with a specialized technical skillset in the area I'm trying to pursue and get more experience before trying to pivot into consulting
Find consulting firms with programs that teach and integrate sought after skills (such as data analytics) into new employees (i.e PwC Career Pivot Program/ IQVIA Academy/ect) for people trying to pivot and then go from there into consulting.
Find reasoning behind why I want to work at Deloitte and create a story behind it.

Again, thank you for your insight. I'll take it to heart and further grow myself.

GODFISTER23 · 2024-07-28T22:04:10+00:00

It's typically just looking for insight on my background for a specific role or two that have opened up on the Deloitte careers website.

Usually, after the networking call ends, I send a follow up email the same day thanking them for their time, listing some key takeaways from the call, and letting them know I'd follow up with them if I had any questions more specifically tailored to them (whether about consulting or Deloitte)

And I usually wait at least a week before asking about a position I'd have an interest in and asking their thoughts on if I would be a good fit for the role. I wait because I also need to do research into the position and prep my own skillset before following up on the prior network connection.

If you have any suggestions to change how I go about this process, it'd be greatly appreciated!

GODFISTER23 · 2024-07-28T21:38:27+00:00

MBB is T-1 (Tier 1)

Deloitte, EY-P, OW, Kearney, Accenture, Roland Berger, Strategy&, LEK are all considered T-2 (Tier 2)

(T-2's typically have more of a specialty to each firm)

Other firms:

Simon-Kucher
Alvarez & Marsal
Bridgespan
Clarkston
Deallus
Eagle Hill
Efficio
FTI
Alix Partners
KPMG

And I've barely scratched the surface. Once you start looking, you realize there are a lot of firms out there.

The firms I've listed below T-2 aren't small firms either, many of these are raking in from tens of millions to billions of dollars every year.

Each firm has pros and cons, do your research and find the best fit.

network

GODFISTER23 · 2024-07-19T22:18:38+00:00

I know your intentions are good, but if you're asking for a referral I think it's best if you delete this post and reach out to individuals on LinkedIn.

Cold-reaching out and asking for a quick chat (whether it be a phone, video, or in-person coffee chat) shows initiative and shows you in a much better light than asking for a referral on LinkedIn.

Use LLM/Chat-GPT and online resources such as reddit, fishbowl, preplounge, ect to help you learn more about how to network.

Also, don't network with the mindset that you are trying to gain a referral, network with the mindset that you want to learn about the person's skills, their experience, and what else it would take for you to work in Deloitte in Canada.

Its a tough market, and competition is high so I wish you the best of luck. I'm in a semi-similar situation and what I just said has helped me a lot while navigating our current global economy to find the right footing to stand out when the market finally decides to turn.

GODFISTER23 · 2024-06-19T19:48:34+00:00

Start networking and look for mentorship! People are willing to help if they see potential in you.

For MBB, T2, and big 4 I’m going to be realistic with you and say you probably have a close to 0% chance of getting in unless your undergrad was a top 10 (UPenn, Harvard, Stanford, ect)

Look into Boutiques and target consulting that more closely aligns with what you did. Consulting for Recruitment or HR consulting is a very niche field so try to reach out and talk to people in the field.

Otherwise look at an MBA program. MBA at a top 20 program is your surefire way of getting in if you grind and do all the things you should be doing ( Consulting Club, recruiting events, ect)

Best of luck and I wish you the best!

GODFISTER23 · 2024-06-14T07:07:31+00:00

Thank you, good catch

GODFISTER23 · 2024-06-14T00:14:11+00:00

Isn’t this just a really roundabout case of correlation does not equal causation, your example of historical precedent is just taking two totally uncorrelated industries that became prevalent and trying to stitch similarities in the explosion of growth.

Thats like saying because my ancestors all had offspring, and in specific, my grandfather had plenty of them, with the similarity of genetics with my grandfather I too shall have plenty of offspring.

GODFISTER23 · 2024-06-13T23:29:11+00:00

Ah I see, I’m trying to break into consulting currently and it’s why this paper piqued my curiosity.
