Is ‘transitioned’ the equivalent of being ‘managed out’?
Sorry to hear about your experience. I mean this honestly and not trying to be a dick - but I would look critically at your personal referrals. At the very least they should get you a warm handoff to the hiring manager. So, I would suggest having a conversation with the people providing referrals and narrow the scope a bit more
Has this happened to anyone else? Having no mba and one year of consulting has made getting a next job nearly impossible.
Which market? Where are you and what kind of jobs are you looking for?
I am open for any location across the country, but focus has been tech hubs. I primarily have applied for tech strategy, operations type roles. But haven’t been that picky. Usually I get automatic rejections, don’t even get a first round- with personal referrals.
Keep your head up.
What is your current title/compensation and what title/compensation are you looking for?
How are you getting personal referrals? Are you able to get a phone call with the hiring manager directly?
Does BCG have people who can help make sure you're presenting your experience and skills on the best way possible on your resume?
BCG does have dedicated people, I work with them very closely, they just throw up their hands and say they don’t know.
I usually don’t get to a call with the hiring manager, I get an auto rejection. When I do, I’m usually told they want someone with 2 years of exp.
I’m a C2, earning MBB salary level, I’m looking for a manager type role, but open- some places senior associate is right title, just depends. I have also applied to lower level roles and also been auto rejected.
Do you only have 12 months experience?
12 months at BCG, 8 years of professional work experience
When you get personal referrals, can't you ask them to introduce you to someone in the department you're looking to apply to? That is the only way I've been able to setup interviews.
For the roles that I simply applied online without some pre-work (e.g. mutual email + call), I've also been rejected.
why are you leaving BCG?
Because I was transitioned. Very high transition rate for non mba hires
Sorry to hear. Keep trying. I have heard from others who work at MBB also that it is tough to assimilate in MBB if you did not start with MBB fresh out of undergrad as an analyst or as an associate after MBA.
OP what is the 8 yrs experience in?
