Yes. Depends how low and other context (test scores, major, internships, extracurriculars, etc.).

Yes, important. Looked at it as part of holistic application but of course increasingly tough the lower it is

How low?

2.8

That’s a story for why consulting fits you. The business education that consulting provides is attractive to a lot of people because it aligns with a broad set of goals.

But why are you built for consulting? What’s so different about you that I should hire you over somebody with a 3.8 GPA? What makes you think you’d be good at the job?

I turned down an extra 30k salary bump plus an extra 10k annually from a daily accrual amount for billable days and a title bump from a boutique firm to stay at D. While that all sounded nice, it seemed like too much to leave 8 months in @ D for that when I’m up for early promo anyways, and there’s something to be said for growth at a company and not looking like a job hopper to the highest bidder. There will likely be just as lucrative if not more lucrative offers down the line. Am I an idiot?
