I am wanting to go into consulting. How can I use my experience in industry as an advantage to get into consulting? I had a few interviews with a firm, but I mentioned that I provided some efficiency solutions in my career, got a six sigma black belt, and analyze data to provide solutions on a daily basis in my current role.
After my 3rd chat with the firm, I have not heard back.
Any tips on what I can do to be considered in consulting? I've been in 3 different industries over the past 9 years.

Hi! Anyone have any idea about online assessment of McKinsey for backend developer?

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

“I feel like I’m the stupidest person here”
“You are not stupid. You literally work at one of the top consulting firms in the world”
“I literally got a 6% in one exam during undergrad”
“Well damn I guess you are stupid”

I have been trying to exit consulting for a while now. I am gonna get the EAD card for Gc somewhere around mid next year. Should I wait till I get it or should I make a move? Reason I ask is I’m getting very few callbacks and I think it’s coz I’m on a H1.

How to decide between two offers when you are on H1B. What if I said no to other and my H1 transfer to the accepted position is rejected 😐.

Hi all

I am a java developer and really want to switch to data science, I am pretty familiar with python and started learning data analysis n all. Can anybody guide me how I can do this efficiently and effectively please, it will be very helpfull 🙂

Looking forward to getting started with the Data Science field. mainly 4 types of job profiles in order of prestige :

Data Engineer, Data Analyst, Data Scientist and ML/AI Engineer.

Really confused what to look for, can be a fair fit for any of the profiles- would love to be a Data scientist - it deals with NLP, advance statistics and analytics etc but Data Scientist as fresher?

Application dev YOE -1.5, completed PG program in Data Science, new to it. Should I try for Data analyst first?

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

Should white males be concerned that current focus on diversity will lead to negative results

I’m convinced that the reason some of these firms are so prestigious is because they have intentionally exclusionary recruitment practices. I used to believe that you had to already be rich to get hired at MBB. Now being on the other side of the recruitment process , I really do feel that it rings true. I hate the way we evaluate candidates and decide on who is “high priority” during coffee chats.

Do all firms share utilization reports for all staff with everyone? I feel like it’s awful for our company culture to share everyone’s stats office-wide. Just breeds anger and bad vibes all around.
