I’d love to hear from any colleagues who currently work in Big4/MBB/Capgemini et similia in Italy.

I have been working in PwC UK for two years and I am progressing very fast in my career (PMO) though every time I apply for jobs in Italy at the above companies, I just get rejected straight away.

I understand there’s a lot of elements to consider, but for context:
1. Yes I do have experience in the roles i’m applying for
2. my CV works perfectly fine in the UK

Thoughts? Thank you!

Yes - absolutely fair observations!
So the answer to your questions is that I have 5.5 years of work experience altogether but my original career was in the Healthcare - I worked as radiographer in the UK) for 3.5 years.
In the meantime I realised that’s not what I wanted to do long term, so I did my MSc and then joined PwC (and gained 2yrs experience).

Admittedly, I’m not considering my healthcare experience at all (though shown on my resume) because I am aware that in Italy they don’t really consider a different career as transferable experience (or at least that’s what I was told by recruiters I could engage on LinkedIn etc) so I am trying to go for very junior/entry level positions and then grow in the firm.

I wouldn’t mind doing so to be honest, and I did also try analyst positions within the two domains I mentioned in my previous commen, but no answer in either case (funnily enough they don’t even send rejection emails, just nothing).
