Consulting hiring is up 22% year over year — the biggest surge since before the pandemic. But there’s a catch.

In this episode of Strategy Simplified, Japheth breaks down 3 major shifts reshaping the consulting industry right now:

  • The 22% hiring surge (and why entry-level roles are shrinking)
  • How AI is transforming both client work and firm operations
  • Why global performance is uneven, with some regions booming and others in decline
