They are truly invested in your success and you have unlimited access to them. I started working with them last December! They also have a great team and have the right people to help you with individual aspects (e.g., someone specializing in the HBS essays, interview coaches, etc)

Used one and got an interview. Also had a Wharton alum edit my essays - I’d say the latter was more helpful. And free.

If anyone wants to discuss or prep for TBD, pls let me know!

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
