the business model of the consulting firm is to train and market you, whether it be a small or big. small and new consulting firms are not good for new comers. if you are new, you need to find a firm that has a long history of running because they have good connections and better marketing dept. if you can't perform they will throw you out, that is how it works for them. it is their business. the key to success is to work hard and get a job and work hard at a job.
