Hello, I recently stopped pursuing a PhD degree and am looking to start a consulting career. I'm seeking an entry level position in strategy/analytics or business transformation. I did my undergrad and masters in top 10, but don't have much professional experience yet. It seems like I'm quite late to the game at this point and have limited access to recruiting info. Any advice on best ways to at least get interviews? Or, anyone willing to offer referrals?
