I really can’t secure an Internship for this summer and I had someone from EY say that I was overqualified but I don’t think that’s true. To be honest, I am a bit late to the internship finding game just because I recently decided I wanted to go into consulting (was premed). Despite that I have a lot of background regarding leadership roles in entrepreneurship/business activities at my school. I’m starting to get discouraged and scared. Any tips or advice on this? Thank you!

Can you share little more about your background? And what year are you?

Also I can’t seem to reply directly to a comment - why is that?

@consultant1 - sorry I forgot to mention that I’m A rising senior

What type of work do you like doing? Your background sounds more toward start up then consulting.

Start targeting people on LinkedIn at the ferns you want to work for and see what they have. I think big companies have more positions open Than consulting firms at this point, but I’m not sure

@cheaseed1 I’ve been networking with people on LinkedIn and for all the internships at big companies I want to work for are closed 😭

C1, I disagree, this is hyper inflation job market not a recession. No one was hiring back then now they have so many candidates they don't have enough time to review unless you were referred. This is a tough market and very competitive, you are competing against more people then you were back then.

I agree with that, had to work a local non-profit before getting into a big company. That is when I learned how easy these jobs are at big companies lol.
