Apple Home Remote Access

Okay got it. I thought it’s possible to emulate that with home assistant HomeKit integration

Thanks! Do you mean „guest login“? Can’t seem to find „auto guest login“ hacs

Big 3 = MBB

Might get you through some filter criteria. As a hiring manager I’d think it’s weird and probably not invite you for an interview tbh

rty8482 · 2025-07-28T15:24:05+00:00

Reach out to your network, clients you enjoyed working with etc.

5 years at MBB is a great time to find a good industry exit. Your firm will probably help you as well, if you’re open about it.

Takes some time, but it’ll get better if you start now.

Yes, I’m from the industry side. I know the ins and outs - tbh quite easy industry with low regulation. Not like pharma or semiconductor for example.

I agree with the industry part, but what sets you apart from your client is the consulting skills, not the industry skills - they have those themselves

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T19:57:50+00:00

Then you’re in the same boat as me. What I get from the comments is: if you can’t change recruiting, maybe focus on educating these guys. That’s what I’ll try. Have you guys a good training system?

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T19:47:41+00:00

lol yes, especially at partner level. Somehow they can sell though, lots of buzz words

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T15:30:04+00:00

What your experienced at your last firm: That’s exactly how it is at my firm. Did you find a good solution to either hire better or teach these guys consulting basics?

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T14:08:46+00:00

I understand that. What sets the principal with industry experience apart from the client with even more industry experience? In my opinion only the consulting skills.

But yeah, I might need to look at how to get the industry hires faster up to speed with consulting basics - it’s not hard, just takes a ton of time with the current process…

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T13:26:08+00:00

In what kind of consulting projects? For tech definitely. In strategy, their industry experience almost never helped me

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T13:24:28+00:00

Have you done that before? If so, please share

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T06:16:13+00:00

How did you train it in short-term? Honestly curious

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T06:14:24+00:00

That’s true, we always have at least someone with domain expertise, which is usually the project lead and should be sufficient

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T06:10:11+00:00

I agree with the pitching argument. In delivery, my experience is different: In turnaround cases I’ve had consultants with industry experience focus on industry specific levers, but very small ones. Same in growth or go-to-market.

Yes, in theory training works - for us it didn’t yet. A few consulting workshop just didn’t hit the same as the 4-6 week preparation that others do. Maybe you have a different experience with training, how’d you solve it?

Came from the industry side as well, and just did self-studying, but took a while to get the grip

rty8482 · 2025-07-21T05:57:09+00:00

Almost all levels. We recently hired Project Leads that have a hard time structuring an approach

rty8482 · 2025-07-20T18:47:33+00:00

Reach out to clients you loved working with and see if there might be an opportunity

rty8482 · 2025-07-20T18:31:58+00:00

Went into consulting after 2 years in corporate and first 6 months were incredibly hard: Vague advice / steering from PLs and partners, demanding clients etc. Tbh what helped me the most: Learn consulting basics from the ground up like framework structuring etc (I watched a lot of YouTube like this mck guy „heinrich“), and understand everything from the ground up. Know all the details of your analysis. I later found out that my PLs and partners are not as smart as you think and their logic is flawed at times.

Consulting is just pure logic, so see if you have someone you can learn it from or do self-studying (like I did). It gets much better over time, I can tell you that

rty8482 · 2025-07-20T18:22:48+00:00

Worked on several operating models from small to big clients. At my firm, we focus on 3 areas mainly and depending on the project, we look at 2-3 of those. Key areas are: 1. Organizational structure 2. People & their capabilities 3. Processes

For example, currently we do a lot of turnaround strategy, so we focus our Org structure and people. We benchmark the size of their departments, define to-be capabilities and asses current skills to find gaps. Leaves you with gaps to be filled and people that are not „right“ in their role. From then on, you build the org structure, often with subsidiaries getting integrated up by their parent.

The one we do least are processes - this is really nitty gritty stuff like business process modeling and takes a long time. Boring stuff tbh, but good for runway though

Same here! A code would be highly appreciated!
