How a Career Gap Helped One Parent Return to Consulting

In Episode 58, Lucas and Luna explore how a career gap can become a strategic advantage in consulting re-entry. They examine the case of Sarah, a former management consultant at Deloitte who took a five-year gap to raise twins, then returned to a boutique firm by positioning her gap as a period of deep client empathy and cross-sector learning. The hosts discuss specific tactics: reframing the gap on your resume as 'client-side immersion', leveraging alumni networks for informational interviews, and targeting firms that value diverse life experience over linear timelines. They also address how to handle the 'sticky questions' about technical skills atrophy and time management post-gap. Practical advice for anyone navigating a consulting return after a career break. #CareerGap #ReturnToWork #Consulting #ManagementConsulting #CareerReEntry #ParentingAndCareer #DeloitteAlumni #BoutiqueConsulting #ResumeTips #InformationalInterview #ClientEmpathy #WorkLifeBalance #CareerPivot #SkillsRefresh #Networking #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
