I need all the advice I can get. About 6 months ago, I joined a new division of a well respected firm that wanted to recreate its advisory business. I now have come to terms with making a very big mistake - I came from a more established consultancy brand, and notice that things here arent how I, or others, thought they would be. I would like to avoid discussing the particulars of why the business is not going as planned - rather I would greatly appreciate your advice on how best I can get out of this mess. I have about 5 years experience in consulting which puts me just shy of manager. Please help! How do I market this to potential new employers / recruiters?

have you tried to target some of the more smaller consultancies. your skills are yet valid of course. you could always talk about cultural fit and pace of work that did not appeal in yuor new firm when you actually began working. obvioulsy if the contrast is made then you need to explain what works for your as opposed to what was missing etc.good luck.

hey, everyone thought BAS was going to be the best thing since sliced bread. Just admit that you tried, was wrong and I'm sure people won't hold it against you. Hell, I was seduced and almost made the jump. So glad that I didn't and stayed put.

tricky one... i'm not really sure.how do you think your boss will react when he finds out you're leaving after so little time? what kind of reference will he give you?i'd be interested to hear what the advice is for this kind of situation.
