I have been rejected from every single consultancy I have applied for and feeling beat.

8 years EPC experience and an MBA from a top 40 school and 5 yrs military experience.

I'm not sure what's going on given that feedback is all but impossible.

It's tough out here yall.

It could also firms slowing hiring given the macro environment. Don’t beat yourself about it. It’s a numbers game at the end of the day. Take a break from recruiting for a few, refresh and start again.

At what stage are you getting rejected? Might be worth analyzing that to improve your chances. E.g if you keep getting rejected at first interview stage then you probably have some desirable skills / experience and just need to polish your interview techniques and so on. If you don’t even get interviews then focus on building skills and do more networking to find the perfect match. You get the idea. There is a role for you out there.

Not even being too the first interview is where I'm at.

Feel like Government and Public Sector at most consultings would eat you up. Could always get a certification that aligns with what you want to do. They definitely help

Why do you want to be a consultant? Perhaps that can help us figure out what paths within consulting can work

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
