Hi! I’m an American citizen who is currently working abroad in London, I also studied abroad at a top European Business School. I am currently looking to stay in consulting but make a move to the east coast, I have 18+ months experience, excellent reviews, all at a Tier 2 firm. I have struggled breaking into any consulting firms in the US(can’t even get an interview most places) Any advice for firms looking hiring and open roles that would match my experience, references of course appreciated!
