How do you structure your consulting work experience in your resume when you are interesting in exit opportunities in tech or startups? Do you have bullet points summarizing each project you’ve been or just general responsibilities that apply across projects?

I just tailor my resume to what that role needs based on my experience

Mostly general, but if there are 1-2 industries where the specific work matters a ton to the company I’m applying to, then I’ll specify the industry by type and be specific

I just updated my resume this week, separated my consulting experience by role and then indicated my level and on the far right of the row the dates. For example: “Functional Lead | Senior Consultant (italicized) …. May 2020-July 2022”
I tried to combine similar roles (even if they were across projects) to save space, and keep 4-5 bullets for each grouping. Then, put Skills and Competencies at the bottom and grouped those logically (Technical, Business and Analytics, etc). Managed to get the whole thing to one page and it was so hard

Not that different from a one pager. I just did “select experiences”

I’ve had 6 interviews with tech startups / scale ups over past few months (not actively applying) and none have asked me for a resume. They just check LinkedIn and then we have a first convo before moving to some type of assignment.
Don’t waste too much time on it unless you’re applying to truly large tech cos like Google etc.
