Who Should Apply
This role fits former management consultants who spent at least a year at a top firm, have a degree from a top-ranked university, and live in an English-speaking country. You should enjoy breaking down business problems, writing clear evaluations, and working with AI models. The role is less suitable for people without direct consulting experience at a recognized firm or those who prefer hands-on strategy execution over detailed written analysis. Candidates often get rejected when their consulting tenure falls outside the past 7 years or when their writing samples lack the precision and structure expected in model evaluation.

Terac
