I am a top rated analyst but my undergrad GPA was low (3.5) and other stats / deals not super impressive. Have not been getting any HF/credit/mezz interviews which is what I'm interested in. Ideas?

Not trying to be a dick. Firm rep matters too.

Also, credit hiring has been a bit sluggish

Welcome to my world. What team are you currently on and what do you mean when you say "credit" for types of jobs you are looking for?

People dont care about GPA once your already working. Its "show me what you done lately". Looks like you need to improve that first. And yes, as someone else pointed out, firm reputation matters.

In PE they care about your GPA and your firm/team. Essentially if you aren't a flawless applicant with an M&A background you probably aren't getting an interview, let alone an offer

Yikes, 3.5 GPA isn't even that bad.

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!
