Its rough. Def press on. When i started to apply to consulting (im in industry) i started with mck and only mck. Got the interview, preped everyday for weeks, did more cases than reasonable, everyone far and wide, family amd friends knew i was interviewing and was trying to help me becausethis would be the biggest deal of my career and id be outearning everyone in my family. Interview day came, i bombed. I was so anxious hoping they would just let me pass that i blew the recruiter up with an email every 2 days. Of course, she eventually told me i didn't make it through. Just sharing to commisserate. I now have offers from EY and Deloitte, and interviews with Bain & Google + a friend who's an EM at Mck willing to give me a referral when i feel ready again. But I didn't have any of that lined up when i bombed with mckinsey - i had to cry, mourn, and as sappy as it sounds, pick myself up and try again somewhere else. At the time, i didnt think i had it in me. Pwc wil come knocking on your door one day!

Congrats on what you achieved so far! Hopefully, I get there one day!

You may want to ask for recruiter feedback and ask if there are other roles that they think you could be a fit for. If you interviewed and they didn’t decline you immediately, I’m guessing they liked you, but someone interviewed better and they waited to see if they accepted their offer or not. I know for a role I was just looking at internally, we had 300 external and 12 internal resumes. Keep your chin up!

I will do that. Thanks for the positive words!

Agree with C1. BCG was my dream job for many years. I got an interview this year prepped crazy(60) cases but didnt pass the 1st round (even when I thought I did good enough). It is heartbreaking but its better to move on and keep trying.

Haha. I also prepared so hard for the interview which was not helpful to be honest! Wish I went to the interview without thinking too much about acing the interview.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
