Yes but only in the sense that many people are applying with your job profile. The things that make consultants attractive candidates (diverse industry/role experiences, access to senior management, critical thinking, communication, etc.) are not enough to differentiate yourself from other consulting candidates because we all have them. So you need to go beyond those factors to build an edge over top consultants from MBB and other firms seen as "better" than yours
