For non-tech industry jobs, what type of roles are you applying for? I receive a lot of rejections to management, business services, business support, corporate strategy roles.

That sounds like it. I am spinning my wheels here, none of my job applications are working out. Trying to get tips from those who made it work, did you apply on LinkedIn, Indeed or directly on the websites of the companies? Were you able to get a referral? On average, how many jobs did you apply?

Yeah it’s rough. That’s why I kinda don’t know what else to do anymore so I just let recruiters come to me while I wait out this promotion period.

Thats what i apply to and get rejected as well for not having enough of the “consulting” skillset for (analytics, Excel, etc.)

What's your consulting specialty? Project management is usually easy to translate consulting skills into; assuming you want to do PM work

Thank you SC1. I really appreciate the encouragement. I’ll continue applying some more

They get upset:
• if i don't tell them about an interview - oh you've already decided
• if I tell them about moving to a different state to be with my partner - oh you've already decided & now informing us

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.
