[03] SALARY DELUSION

MARKET AVERAGE

206542

* Reported average for AI Consultant roles in the US, inflated by the current market premium for 'AI' in any job title, regardless of actual technical depth.

"A significant investment in a human-shaped placeholder for future AI automation, currently tasked with selling more AI solutions."

[04] THE FLIGHT RISK

FLIGHT RISK:85%HIGH RISK

[DIAGNOSIS]The current AI hype cycle is unsustainable for roles focused on abstract 'growth' consulting, especially as actual AI models become capable of generating similar strategic documents at a fraction of the cost, making human consultants redundant.

[05] THE BULLSHIT METRICS

AI Visioning Session NPS Score

Measuring client satisfaction with conceptual workshops, rather than the efficacy of implemented AI solutions.

Number of 'AI Opportunity' Registries Created

Tracking the quantity of potential AI use cases identified, without any follow-through on feasibility or actual business impact.

Cross-Functional AI Adoption Index

A self-reported survey score on how many departments 'feel' they are incorporating AI into their strategy, regardless of genuine integration or value.

[06] SIGNATURE WEAPONRY

Generative AI for 'Insights' Decks

Leveraging large language models to rapidly produce dense, visually appealing, but ultimately superficial presentations filled with 'strategic insights' and 'growth opportunities' derived from publicly available information.

Proprietary AI Maturity Model™

A multi-stage framework (often a glorified spreadsheet) designed to assess a client's AI readiness, which conveniently always recommends further engagement with the consultant's firm to advance to the next 'maturity' level.

AI-Driven Growth Flywheel Blueprint

A complex, circular diagram illustrating how AI will magically accelerate every aspect of a business, devoid of specific implementation details but rich in arrows pointing to 'synergistic value creation'.

[07] SURVIVAL / ENCOUNTER GUIDE

LINKEDIN ILLUSION

[SOURCE REDACTED]

"You'll work closely with technical teams to understand our AI capabilities, then translate that knowledge into effective training programs and client guidance."

OTIOSE TRANSLATION

Extracting basic information from engineers via endless meetings, repackaging it into 'training' that mostly consists of defining common AI terms, and 'guiding clients' towards purchasing more of the company's AI services.

[09:30 - 10:30]

* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.

"AI has yet to produce any of the productivity gains that make the engagement require less staff or time to complete. And who is telling clients this lie, if not consultants?"
