I’m definitely ready to exit. I feel my resume as a consultant is too broad and not as specialized for most industry roles as for. Any advice?

A lot of ways to pitch this. I am exiting after 8 years and all my experience in 1 PA. Plus I was in education pre-M.B.A. and consulting, and there’s not a lot of transferable skills at face value. BUT - there is always a story to tell. Breadth shows you can handle different topics well and tackle any challenge. Whatever they want you to focus on, you likely already touched it. And, you’ll bring new and different perspectives to increase diversity of thought.

There should be a reason you think you’ll fit into any role to which you apply. That is all you need. That and confidence / belief you are the best will take you a long way. You got this.

That’s very good advice actually. However I am a manager and my case is a bit different. My project is heavily dependent on me, the practice lead jumped in when the conversation happened.

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?
