Genuine question for those who have successfully gotten offers or landed interviews post-consulting (congrats btw!): what would you say is the best way going about finding those roles? I've applied to considerable amount on LinkedIn for quite some time now, though for nearly all I get either radio silence or don't get to interview. The only ones I've gotten interviews for are those where the recruiter directly reached out via LinkedIn DM.

For context I have ~2 years of experience in strategy

I knew that I wanted to exit to a software engineering role. I had a list of companies that I wanted to work at so I checked their website weekly for roles to apply to. I also had alerts for roles posted on LinkedIn.

The role that I landed ended up coming from a LinkedIn job posting. I applied directly through the company’s website with a tailored resume and cover letter.

Some people say that not getting interviews might indicate that you need to revamp resume. Maybe try that?

Apply directly on the company's website. LinkedIn is garbage.

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?
