Make sure you aren’t putting any dates on your resume like college graduation. Ageism is real in consulting. Maybe only go back 15 years on your resume.

What type of companies and roles are you looking for.

Non-consulting Director and up roles software dev, agile related

Getting noticed by recruiters is a challenge, generally recruiters are looking for other similar technology companies and not many are aware about consulting. I was not able to get Director level roles so I am joining a technology company as a TPM. Try socializing by using apps like lunch club and find referrals in your target company.

My final round with Deloitte for UK Tech Consulting Manager position soon. Strangely it’s not a PMD round as it usually is for other Big4/tech consulting firms.
1. Can anyone tell me if they’ve been through the whole process without speaking to PMD? (First round Sr Manager, second Case Interview by a manager and third again by a manager) 2. What is a typical salary to expect? I was asked in screening but kept it vague (e.g can discuss later bla bla). I was hoping 75-80 (ridiculous?)

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
