How often do you guys apply to jobs? Every day after work? During work breaks? Only weekends? How many a week? I’ve applied to 150 jobs so far and all rejects. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong..

Have you gotten interviews or only rejects to your initial application? If the former, keep at it - took me a bit more than that to land the gig I wanted. If the latter, have someone review your resume, better tailor your resume to the jobs you’re applying for, or change expectations on what jobs you’re shooting for.

Details about your background would be helpful to know: how many YOE?, what do you specialize in? Target role type/level? Etc. It’s not just the numbers game, but a combination of several things that will yield what you seek.

I prefer consistency over bursts. There is a flow to how/when jobs are posted. Keep an eye on this flow and try to match it.

I prefer to set aside dedicated time (at least on hour per day) and apply to a minimum number each day. I track my applications as well. You need to build a chain.

Doing this gives me a manageable return (I get a reasonable number of interviews and it’s enough that I can do my research etc.) if you go in bursts then you might get a lot of interviews or at the wrong time. You might not be able to prepare well which won’t help you.

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?

Do you think that consulting would provide more advancement opportunities than PE does for a POC, given the structural differences?
