Anyone have any tips? Struggling a bit.

Yes, and after my body neutralized the “threat” I don’t even use it anymore now and I don’t get anxious. For reference I’ve gone into full blown panic attacks at work in the past

I usually recommend filming yourself. It is helpful to practice and see where you can improve.

Also more generally, if you practiced a presentation (even if it is just giving an update) then you’ll feel more comfortable doing it on the spot.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
