I interned at PWC but I really want to work in strategy. Any recommendations for new grad jobs in strategy that aren’t as competitive as MBB and Tier 2?

Sounds like you’re falling for the prestige trap a bit. I’ve seen plenty of laterals from all firms to MBB. Chase work experience at PwC that compliments whatever your goals are then sell it to the firms.

PWC

I disagree, the biggest benefit of T2 is rapid growth in early phase. You can go from Analyst to Manager exceptionally fast. I’d say apply for T2 and get in asap

Start at PwC, then lateral in a year.

Anecdotal, but I've seen this 3x in the past year with my network at PwC/S&

SM1 is right though regardless of if you do it to S& or other. It'll be good experience for your resume.

Hi All,
I am graduating with my MBA in December. I have 1 year experience as an internal business consultant, 3 years experience as a team manager with project management responsibilities and a background in Account Management and Sales prior to all that. I have been on the job hunt for months and haven’t been able to snag a single interview. I’m starting to feel pretty worthless. Does anyone have any suggestions for jobs or companies that may be interested in this type of experience?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
