I got rejected for a bunch of prime air roles (product, strategy, etc). I work as an aerospace strategy consultant have experience at Boeing. I also had referrals. While it is hard not to get down about this, I also think the competition is stupid rn given unemployment

Prime Air or Amazon Air the latter would value your experience more the former would probably not

They are non technical PM and I do feel my profile is a good fit for the role.

FYI- we do heavy data crunching or conceptual framework before putting things on a pretty slide. Idk why there is this misconception that consultants only make pretty slides 😢

I am a consultant myself, honest reality is this is more of a 90s job rapidly becoming less important and relevant
