MBB/T2 folks - would you be willing to do a 10 min rapid review of my resume? Getting rejected even without an interview, and not sure what’s up. ~2yrs in tech strategy, non-target school with high GPA and a business major. Applying for fresh grad roles. Either my resume is trash or I need to work on extra curricular more??? Happy to email it over/set up time. The more brutal the feedback the better!

Rapid review is no one from non target will get an interview without an in. You’re trying to go through the front door. Need to use the window

You need one of the following 1. Partner that goes to bat for you with HR 2. 5 - 10 mid levels who go to bat for you with HR

This likely will take ~50 phone calls solicited via linked in per firm

Also they won’t be hiring 2 YOE for fresh grad roles. Consulting firms are pretty strict about who they hire for what (e.g. internships are only reserved for students, new grads cannot apply for experience hire roles, etc.)

I’d honestly target an associate role at a T2 like Strategy& and try to get into the cloud and digital alignment since that’ll be the closest to tech strategy

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries.

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less).
