Which school?

Yes, provided you have stellar achievements at work and extra-curriculars. And the academics should be decent not terrible

Any top b School KPMG1

Associate consultant thanks sir

When top consulting firms go for on campus placement they usually have a cut off criteria to sit for the interview process, just make sure you cross that minimum threshold

well you would need other spikes in your resume

Depends on the b school and your extra curricular like b plan and case study competitions.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.
