I’m currently trying to break into consulting with a Masters in Analytics and less than a year experience in a non consulting data role for a Fortune 100 company. I’ve been getting rejected quickly from entry level Big 4 applications and w/o interviews. Do y’all think hiring is slowing down or am I overestimating my resume?

If you're rejected without interviews then it's likely your resume. I would put as many buzzwords, keywords, and key phrases that reflect the job postings. One thing I do is put a bullet list of skills at the top along with any tools I am familiar with and have been exposed to.

Revisit your resume and LinkedIn. With < 1 YOE, I assume it’s entry level roles. Referrals are better, I feel like recruiters are spamming right now…

Your resume sounds good but idk how it is on paper. Id suggest blacking out identifying info and then posting it for people to grade and review

I had final round interviews last week for the company I really want to work for.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house.

Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
