S21E23: TMT Consulting: The AI Reality Check + What Firms Want in Candidates
AI is everywhere in TMT — but in 2026, the hype is fading and the real question is simple: what’s the ROI?
Rick Wilmot (ex-McKinsey) sits down with leaders from Bain (Ron Kermisch), Capgemini Invent (Karl Bjurstrom), Strategy& (Dan Hays), and Altman Solon (Gregor Eichler) to unpack what TMT clients want now — and what it takes to win offers in this space.
You’ll hear what’s changing across tech and telecom: the post-hype AI reality check, shifting talent strategy, telco capex monetization pressure, and the growing role of regulation in growth strategy.
The panel also gets practical on recruiting: what makes candidates stand out, how to show real depth in TMT, and how to start strong once you land the role.
Each firm is hiring now. Click here to see open roles and prep resources to help you land your next offer.
