Yup. This reads a bit like new grad in over their head.
“I was the most senior consultant on the case proposal”. Unless this guy was selling the work to the customer (normally what partners do), no he wasn’t the most senior. He was the new consultant in the back doing the grunt work.
And the “sit back and shut up” is actually good advice for someone who has never done consulting before. The client knows you’re a 20-something junior. They aren’t hiring you, they are hiring your partner who has 10+ years of experience.
