Apply for more specialist / expert path type of roles to have a better chance. For example - if you have a niche that is excelling you at your company, leverage that niche to enter MBB because I'm sure our clients are interested in the same topic and can leverage your expertise!

Another time they hire more consultants is during high rates of attrition, however this is really hard to time / know.

Ummm, that would be now.

I’ve tried before. I got multiple referrals talked to recruiters etc. I graduated with honors from a top 20 (not Ivy League) and I never even got an interview, despite like 3 years of attempts. If you find the answer, please let me know

But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”
