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
