I finished and change industries

2 yrs with more of a generalist background may not be serving you. When you apply to these positions are you getting referrals? Do you get hits for other jobs? Startups may be a better option but you’d still need to network and you’ll need a solid story (less about leaving, moreso what you want to do).

Okay, noted advice..

What types of positions are you applying to? Sounds like you have the typical ACN change/project management background which could be hurting you.

Does anyone else just feel incapable of doing interview prep after several instances of making it to the final round and getting rejected?

Should I even “prep” or should I wing it?
