Posting on behalf of my wife who has 3+ years working in study abroad at a big 10 university. She is looking for a career change and feels that project management has a similar skill set to what she currently does. Has anyone pivoted from another career and can you advise on how to position her experience to make the switch?

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!
