About
Client projects in short, intense stretches: a problem, a deck, a recommendation, next client. Entry is usually a campus round at a strategy, Big Four or boutique firm, or a lateral move after a few years in operations or analytics. The work rewards structured thinking, clean slides and being comfortable presenting to people senior to you. Travel is real. Mumbai is the graph's most common location, and the most common exit is into operations or leadership at a client.
