I had a conversation with someone about pivoting from Tech Strategy consulting (4yrs) to private equity. He agreed to refer me to some small shops, but then asked for my GPA (3.2) and stopped talking to me. Is GPA still reverent after 4 years of work experience?

Hi. I am so frustrated with how long it is taking to get hired. I feel crazy & sad. I am a 24 yr old- got my bachelors in 2020. Have worked as a temporary high school teacher, sub, videographer, and most recently sales rep. Was doing good there but got really screwed over with technical payment issues & workplace discrimination. At any rate, I want a stable real job. So for the past 4 months I have been applying & either get interviews with rejection or just not going forward at all. Help

Currently a full time contractor in HR at tech company earning $50/hr. Was presented an opportunity to do a part time 20/hr per week job at $75/hr. My ultimate goal is FIRE so I’m working currently on starting a cleaning business for cash flow.

Part of me is still scared entrepreneurship isn’t going to work out. If I take new job at financial/risk/accounting firm, I lose opp to convert to FTE at tech co. if my co fails. But it’d give flexibility and decent pay. Should I take it?

Any thoughts on how a Senior Account Director for a B2B SaaS co. with a diverse book (across multiple verticals; including some pretty big logos) could pivot into consulting? Have an MBA in finance and media mgmt fwiw.
