McKinsey & Company I have applied to Deloitte PwC KPMG EY Accenture McKinsey & Company . I have a bachelor’s and 2 master’s degrees and I am applying for my first full time job with two internships as experience. How much of a chance do I have without a referral or a previous consulting internship?

It has nothing to do with how many internships or degrees you’ve had…

Depends what you are looking for. In my group we would start you at the bottom (exp Assc, maybe Assc)

I mean two master's degrees is certainly more than most seniors have. Probably a solid shot if you're just looking for an entry level staff position with decent grades, background, and interview skills

Students can’t DM unfortunately

I think it really depends on the group you are applying too and how you performed at the undergraduate level. If you are looking to pivot into Consulting you need to have a high GPA or a strong story as to why you don’t. If you are looking to pivot to Audit / TAx the barriers of entry are less demanding. I started in Audit and then pivoted to consulting (FDD) after a few years in Audit. If you don’t get your dream job today, apply to a place that can help get you there. These firms (big 4) specifically are always hiring at the experience level. Good luck - hope this helps

I have just recently accepted a position as Director of Compliance at a Fin-Tech company here in Naples, FL.. My previous 17 YOE were strictly in the Financial industry. Does anyone know what the average salary is for this position? I have a sinking feeling that I accepted the role too quickly without comparing salaries. The position only pays $50k/year. That seems low to me.
