In your first year in consulting, it’s easy to chase the projects that sound the most impressive.

But the work that actually accelerates your career often looks very different.

In this episode of Consulting Unpacked, Jenny Rae shares the single best decision she made during her first year at Bain – why it felt counterintuitive at the time, and how it helped her develop faster than any “prestige” project could have.

You’ll learn:

  • Why the projects most consultants try to avoid can become your biggest growth opportunities
  • How saying “yes” early in your career builds credibility and accelerates responsibility
  • The mindset shift that helps you optimize for learning – not just optics

If you want to grow quickly in consulting (or any high-performance career), this is a lesson worth learning early.
