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.
