I mean change management or financial services as I have experience in both. Even transformation would be great.

I’ve applied for those types of roles and altered my resume of course, but nothing so far :/

Follow the consulting companies on LinkedIn. Usually there are info sessions and recruitment events around this time it early fall.

It’s harder in Toronto because there are limited spots.

I know :( it sucks

Tbh if you are personable and have some sense of business intuition it’s easy… just network

Thank you for your encouraging words A1! I’ll definitely follow your suggestion ☺️

What’s your background? YOE? Education?

I’d consider a MBA in your position

Hi all, I have the long-term goal of ultimately getting into a good Venture Capital firm at Associate level. I currently work at Amazon , did my undergrad and Masters in Economics at LSE. I have 2 main questions:
