Another rejection from a great company for a strategy consulting role after stage 4/5, probably keep underperforming in the case studies interview (no feedback). Probably at this stage I am willing to accept that maybe I not consultant material.

4 out of 5? You absolutely are consulting material.

I’m in a similar boat. It’s very frustrating. Have you done a lot of live practice with partners?

OP if you need any help, lemme know. Been in your boat very recently.

This is tougher consulting job market now than there has been in the past ~1.5-2 years. A lot of companies are being pickier than they normally would. I wouldn't read too much into it and just keep trying

Less hiring overall. Fewer spots for more applicants so companies will be choosier.

Which firms OP?

Sometimes it’s a numbers game so keep applying & interviewing

Read Case in Point and practice with an experienced interviewer. I switched from corp finance to consulting and without the book or the prep, I’d have been screwed.

My plan is to just do primary market research for life sciences until I can pivot to strategy consulting.

My small company was bought out by a corporation. During the acquisition process, the new HR team wants to demote my title from “manager” to “specialist” due to their company requirements. I declined the offer and they changed the offer to grandfather my title in but are still evaluating my salary based on a specialist role. My supervisor (a VP) and our President disagree with this choice but are making no headway with the new HR team. What can we do?

Many are wondering what’s wrong with ClearView. The problem is straightforward, if the way ClearView is organizing a project such that when one analyst or senior analyst (22 to 24 year old) fails at something, stakes are high enough that an project’s fate depends on it, then ClearView is putting way too much responsibility on its Junior staff, not promoting and severely underpaying them. Maybe it’s time ClearView brought in a consulting firm to ease its org problems
