Hi!
I am a recent undergraduate from Delhi University. I have consistent good grades and decent internships and PORs. Can someone guide me on how to break into front-end consulting roles at top firms? (I am from a non-target school).
Also, is joining Knowledge Teams at BCG a good start?

Knowledge Centres are backend for Consulting folks. But it's difficult to move to Consulting from backend. You need to perform very well and impress your partner and manager

Can you guide me on how I will be able to make the switch? Can I approach front end consultants once I join the firm for guidance and extra work to help with the switch?

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward. I’m really trying to break into method development roles and I haven’t had the opportunity to do so with my analytical experience. A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later? If you take a job as a customer success mgr for ads, or as a partnership mgr for learning solutions for industry X, are you going to get stuck in those products (ads, learning solutions), roles (CS, sales/partnerships), or target industry (X)?
