Part of the career trajectory is just hanging in there while literally everyone else gets burnt out around you. I think the stat is 70% of consultants are gone within 3 years? So this is just pure slop also to get people to keep signing on. I don't doubt she's way about all the stuff that causes the burnout though.
Yeah that's a major part of it. The other part is the constant connections you have to build and maintain to keep getting on projects and justify your employment. So I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people in this video are just kissing massive ass to keep their job.
Never really thought about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was. I was in tech consulting so it skewed heavily towards one gender. It definitely has a good old boys club feel for sure.
Edit: Thought about it and I had a few female coworkers that I wasn't especially close to, but they were all gone very quickly.
The consultant in this video picks up tea and a pastry for her boss, confirming that she's also having to feed the massive ego of a super-consultant.
We have educational consultants that come to our school for these "growth sessions." Common thread between all these guys is that they have a small army of ass kissers that walk around the room to pass out sticky notes and gift cards while these guys sit up front and tell us we're horrible at our jobs.
Another I'm-sure-it's-purely-a-big-conincidence thing that I notice about all these big shot consultants; this pack of followers always happens to be attractive young women. Go figure!

Imposter Syndrome must be vicious when your job is completely fake.
