Hi! I’ve been applying for jobs in consulting for almost 5 months now. Feeling super demotivated as I’ve literally gotten 1 interview. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I have a 3.8 GPA as an Econ grad student and 3.5 years of previous work experience as a Research Analyst at a financial research firm! I’m open to any suggestions! I’m also an international student, so anxiety related to being in visa status etc also piles on. Thanks in advance!
