Bad at case interviews....is this a bad sign lol of my capabilities as a consultant

Is it just me or is anyone else getting a lot more traction for nontech roles that have an analytics component than actual DS roles?

I am interviewing with bizops and data analytics consultant jobs (they want technical people) yet I am barely receiving any traction for pure data science positions. Can't tell if its because I labelled myself as an analytics consultant.

Also, i do not have a masters

Looking for case partners for BCG interview in 2 weeks. I’m interviewing as experienced hire for Consultant role. Let me know if anyone’s interested.

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.

To all my Canadian 🐠 in Consulting, I need your help please :) I am a management consulting analyst at Accenture, it’s been 1.5 years and I have an interview at KPMG coming up.
