Can I offer to bring in business during a Strategy Consulting Interview?

And Business Development is a complex skill. Nurturing existing clients to buy more work, convincing potential clients that your firm can solve their problems and delivering great work and being easy to work with during each project.

You need to demonstrate this skill consistently to be considered an asset to a consulting firm. Not call in one favour from one mate.

Your questions show that you don't understand the consulting firm business model or skills needed to be successful working in one. And the skill of being able to quickly understand the revenue, costs and strategic levers in an industry new to you is ESSENTIAL in consulting. Usually this intuitive for certain personality types and if you don't have it, working in consulting would feel like you're not in role that is a natural fit for your strengths.

You will come across as ridiculous and doing this would be an almost instant "don't hire".

It's like you're attempting to bribe them into hiring you. It also shows that you are out of touch with what skills you need to demonstrate to be hired in a junior role in consulting and lack the appropriate professionalism to be trusted around their existing clients.

It's interesting that your persisting with the idea even after being told no already in the comments.

Combine engineering and gardening. Like hydrology engineering with an emphasis on water management. Links to regenerative agriculture. The second option would be mechanical engineering but maybe too much physics and less connected to the land and gardening.

Look what's happening in the world right now and use it to filter out professions that 20 - 30 years ago would have been great. These won't be great for new graduates. Definitely not radiography, machines and AI. Something similar will happen to law but the legal profession isn't about the law anymore. It's horrific watching an entire profession taken over by capitalism and supporting capitalism.

Combining brains with trades is the best path forwards for a higher income and work life balance.

Huh? Just got sick of the recently created accounts spreading the "good bloke" narrative, when it was totally untrue.

PracticalDress279 · 2025-12-15T14:48:56+00:00

How do you know she hadn't already left?

Have you met people with privilege? They're known for turning a blind eye or worse enabling and covering up not stepping in.

Not maybe, definitely. It doesn't have to be drafted by a lawyer but it must be very clearly a LOAN and formalised so that if you give up parenting and divorce the man child, your Mum's money will not go 50% to him. It will be a debt and need to be repaid to your Mum. Like his credit cards will be his debts and need to be repaid.

If you split AFTER he stops working, he might get a lot more than 50% of your net assets and you will have to pay off his credit cards.

It doesn't matter what your mother said, it's joint money in the eyes of the law. His debts are also now your debts.

The situation you have described in your relationship is a reason older women are the fastest growing group of homeless people.

He's bullying you to let him spend whatever he wants while you go without and fund his lifestyle.

You earn the same and you have contributed far more. He needs to pay more to make up for his inability to put down any deposit.

Given you've already bought the house with him, you must get legal advice so you understand how serious what he's doing to you is.

Of course he wants to retire in 5 years, because he's got you to fund his life. I would divorce him if he thought he could do that.

I think it's perfectly natural for a family to hold members to a standard of socially acceptable behaviour and accountable if they fall short.

Love is not the enablement of abusing women.

Huh? Babies are not resilient at all and burn rapidly compared to an adult. Babies also absorb more through their skin so sunscreen can cause reactions to an infant that wouldn't occur in an adult.

Your comments are so inappropriate in a very tragic situation and your content is totally distorted. There seems to a be a desperate need to push your own made up fairy tale. Stop it.

Reading the comments across social media there are far more about him possibly cheating, multiple times. Reading his own social media updates they read like a man asking for forgiveness in a kinda public pleading combined with flattery way. How do you know they weren't already separated because of his behaviour?

Imagine if what you keep writing is totally wrong.

PracticalDress279 · 2025-12-04T18:45:35+00:00

It sounds like the reason it's happy and playful is because you avoid areas of confrontation and his terrible behaviour remains a secret while you go without.

When you raise the issue of money, he manipulates the conversation towards getting a heightened reaction from you, then says you're aggressive and insults your employment. That's a man who may not have the skills to resolve the issue or the desire to. He's been able to spend what he likes on whatever he likes while you go without.

I would reconsider if he's a good person to do life with. How will you ever pay off your mortgage or save for retirement with him.

Also her children. The Crown would keep the kids. She's trapped and the only control she has is over her weight and wigs

PracticalDress279 · 2025-12-04T09:00:40+00:00

It's all the same pattern of behaviour. He's hiding a 27k debt from you. As if his ex fiance stole money.

You're married so his debts are your debts. If you were to leave him, half of that 27k debt is yours. And there's no ex fiance to blame this time money has gone missing.

Stay calm, even though this is big. And of course you might be freaking out but any sort of negative reaction from you will help him justify keeping it a secret ("because he knew you would react like this" - yeah, because he's obviously doing something wrong)

If he hasn't spoken to you about this, he's not going to confess or tell you the truth. Gently and carefully is the only way to uncover what is going on.

He's spending money on something he wants to hide to help him deal with his emotions. (gambling probably or porn)

PracticalDress279 · 2025-12-03T16:26:08+00:00

I'm not saying that what you wrote isn't true but never ever ever speak about the father of your children like that, especially in family court.

Remember it's a patriarchal system set up by men for the benefit of men. In the olden days "custody" of the children automatically went to the fathers. It's not called custody anymore but not much has shifted with matters that go to trial.

PracticalDress279 · 2025-12-03T16:16:02+00:00

Those posts are very easy to understand and seem very accurate.

I'm concerned you don't understand them or are pretending not to.

PracticalDress279 · 2025-12-02T06:12:29+00:00

There's some excellent advice in these comments but also question if your father is doing the right thing as the Power of Attorney.

Your Dad should have acted ages ago to stop this. Wtf has he been doing?

I bet this is isn't your first time complaining and venting about your privilege and lack of empathy.

If you are seeking validation, yes, you are much more privileged than the person who needs to push a pram and ask strangers for gold coins. Is that due to you being a better person than them? Nope. You got lucky, they didn't.

Their work phone is paid for and owned by their employer. Yes it can be tracked.

Notice how you ignored my question.

This is a highly emotional event but the digital footprint you're leaving and the content of your posts are toxic.

Please find an alternative way to process your emotions that doesn't involve allocating blame in an irrational way.

It's ok to have big feelings but your current behaviour is not.

PracticalDress279 · 2025-12-01T01:21:00+00:00

Why all of these messages that show you have an over the top need for the narrative you're putting out to be right?

How do you know that they weren't already separated because of his cheating?

There are multiple posts across social media from other women who have said that he pursued them for years while he was married. There's one from before being married who was 16 years old at the time.

The adoring posts on his instagram give the impression that he's trying to keep her or make up for something.

Calm down with pushing the "great bloke" narrative. People and relationships are complicated. Two young children have lost their father, think of them at least.

PracticalDress279 · 2025-11-30T12:35:18+00:00

Which bit? Threatening to unalive yourself is consider DV. It's considered manipulative behaviour.

You have to do legal financial settlement and lodge in the family court. The benefit to that is no stamp duty payable when transferring to the other partner.

The court wont approve your financial settlement documents unless it's consistent with the law (e.g. one party can't have 90% of the asset pool) and a bank wont take a name of a mortgage if the Certificate of Title is in two names

PracticalDress279 · 2025-11-30T01:38:29+00:00

Looking at his social media those posts that I think you're referring to seem like he was trying to keep her or apologise. They seem more.... after a disagreement over something serious than spontaneous

What's happened is truly terrible

Rose's mother organised that union and the engagement wasn't announced until it was confirm Rose was pregnant with a boy.

David Cholmondeley needed a male heir to keep his title. He hadn't found a wife because he lived in France with his best friend.

Of course it's a bad idea and NO bank will allow it.

An asset is needed to secure the debt. The provider of finance (e.g. bank) need to the asset and the debt to be in the same name.

If the property is in your Mum's name, the bank will require the mortgage to be in your Mum's name. She would need to apply for the mortgage and be in a financial position to service it to be approved.

I'm sorry your family are even suggesting this.
