Only applied to MBB, got interviews from 2/3

6 or 7, withdrew from most after I received an offer

Applied to 30, interviewed at 5(final round for 3), got 1 offer. Non target school

Something like 32 lol. I dropped out of the rest soon after I got the consulting offer I wanted.

Probably 40. Yeah I was making sure I had a job leaving my MBA.

I horrifically failed at getting an internship (20+ interviews with no offers) and interned for some friends that had an asset management startup.

Just one gave me interview invite.

Applied to a ton, 0 interviews

Nice, congratulations:) I have an interview with EYP coming up

Switched from industry. All big 4

On campus recruiting and interviews with Deloitte, IBM, Accenture, Oracle, BAH, and then companies including Unilever, UPS, P&G, US Steel, J&J, American Airlines, and BD.

Applied to 0. Landed Bain.

Applied to 400-500 jobs. Got zero consulting offers but 4 months into a tech role I was able to transition to IBM after getting some certs.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi! The role I interviewed for has been deprioritised. Has anyone else experienced this? This was announced 2days before the hiring freeze.. should I assume the job will be cancelled? Or in your opinion, are roles likely to be open again? This is a non tech role as a Research & Insights lead for Google Apps.

Recruiter hasn’t been very responsive.

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?
