I was recently laid off as a first year analyst. Looking for new consulting opportunities, but currently in a limbo stage of my career where I'm not an entry level campus hire, but also don't have 2-3+ years of experience to be considered an experienced hire. Open roles I've seen at various consulting companies have business analyst/entry level positions for 2021 graduates only...any advice/insights on how I should approach this stage of my career or companies hiring non campus, entry level roles?

Hmm, no offense, but if you haven't finished 1 year working, you're very much still entry level. Hoping for the best bud.

Are you sure graduate roles are limited to fresh graduates only? People do take gap years or other random stuff before applying to their first job. Would be surprised (and rather dumb) for companies to actively restrict applicants to just one year’s cohort

Is this true? I thought the structured “campus hire” programs often want people to be in their final year of college, accepting an offer during school but only joining post graduation.

I would just bite the bullet and go for the college grad jobs. You will be little ahead of the class

Guidehouse is C’s with 1 YOE. Apply there, it’ll be a title bump too.

Thanks so much for all the responses! I've been applying to 2021 campus hire roles but one was auto rejected 5min after submitting the application and I was directed to apply under experienced hire, but I don't meet the qualifications for experience hires which is why I'm conflicted atm

I’m in the same boat! I’ve found some that only require 1 YOE, but it’s so tough

Saw salesforce looking to hire recent grads. Look into it

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
