I noticed that most (>80%) of the recruiter messages i get on linkedin are for other consulting roles. Any tips for getting more outreach for industry positions?

Don't get discouraged. You should work with your firm's alumni network as well as your own on LinkedIn. When recruiters contact you, tell them you are looking for industry roles only and give them a couple of concise sentences on the type of role you want. They probs have nothing but at least they won't hit you up for more consulting gigs.

The reality is there is a ton of churn in consulting. Firms expand as well as need to backfill and consulting roles pay well. And if you work at a firm, you are vetted for consulting, so you are a known quantity.
So it is a great area for recruiters to mine and fill a role and get paid.

I left consulting and still get "Big 4 looking to grow PPMD positions" messages.

Most recruiters just want someone already doing the role in question. Lower risk and less work for them. If you want to make a switch you need to use other methods.

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

Where can I go with ~1YOE post PhD? It feels like nearly every job requires a lot more and I just don’t have it in me to push through another 1-2y…
