Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This was the project that made me seriously question consulting.
In this episode of Consulting Unpacked, Jenny Rae shares the Bain project she liked the least — not because the work was bad, but because it sparked a realization that changed everything.
You’ll learn:
- Why consulting can feel removed from real decision-making
- The moment Jenny Rae realized she wanted to be on the “owner” side, not the advisor side
- How one project can completely reshape your career direction
This is a must-listen for anyone wondering what consulting is really like — and whether it’s the right long-term path.
