Just wanted to vent- I work for Big 4. Applied for role that seemed really interesting. Weeks pass. No reply. SO who works at MBB and did not apply gets a message for same role: “want an interview?”😞

It’s a tougher transition than it needs to be for big4. Reach out to alums directly and get referrals from friends at those companies, it helps!

No problem, I’m at big tech firm now and know the struggle ... it took me months ... my MBB friends who got counseled out in less than 2 years basically had a seat waiting for them at my company. 😑!

OP, I do not mean "did." I mean "do." What DO you expect from life? Sometimes people work hard their entire lives for something and never achieve it, while others have that very thing fall into their laps without even trying. It happens and it sucks but you honestly can't expect anything different. All you can do is try to improve and keep trying, but that still doesn't mean you'll get it.

However, with that attitude I can certainly see why you didn't get a response...

OP, look at your SOs linkedin content. May be emulate and see if content is key or firm name

Dw, it’s just the hardest to get an interview. Once you get an interview MBB doesn’t matter, trust me

We are looking to hire a FTE for systems integration. We are using Mulesoft as an IPAAS. I’m part of the hiring team. The pay is 6 figures it is fully remote, the benefits are insanely good and it can be your second job if you are very good. If you are great, it’s probably 15-20 hours of work per weeks. If you are good enough, I will even cover for you to coordinate with your primary job. DM me if you are interested as I’m tired of the crappy recruiting company we are contracted with.
