There are a few strategies you can employ to improve your chances. I can't explain them better than they did in this article, so I'll just share the link. Good luck! https://hackingthecaseinterview.thinkific.com/pages/getting-into-consulting-with-a-low-gpa

This is a great resource. Thank you for sharing this.

Hey, OP. So, here's my take. In the world of consulting, I find that the ability to think on your feet and reason through strategy is more important than your school record. And if you have done decent networking and can leverage that network for more interview opportunities, all the better. That's not to say that landing your first consulting job won't be tough coming out of a school with a lower GPA, but once you're in the field, it's easier to let your work speak for itself.

Oof. True or not true? I don't know if I would still make the same choice if I knew how things were going to end up. I tend to be on the "PBM's ruined pharmacy" brigade. If you knew then what you know now, would you still go to pharmacy school?

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
