Left a Big 4 consulting firm a few years ago to a smaller firm for the pay bump. However now that I'm back on the hunt, I'm finding I can't even get a single interview in the consulting world, let alone T1/T2 firms.

Hi guys, do you think PwC will hire someone with just one H1B lottery attempt left? If not, any way we can convince them to do so? I believe I can crack the interviews but worried about the visa/sponsorship situation. The position I’m looking for is senior consultant.

I get requests for coffee chats ALL the time. at least 5+ a week. I don’t have time to talk to everyone … I want to be able to help people find their dream job, but I also generally have the same conversation over and over. If it wasn’t super rude, I’d just hold office hours and invite 5 people at a time. As it is, I get overwhelmed and just don’t end up responding half the time. (I know, also rude.) Are there any non-rude options that won’t require me to have so many informational interviews?
