I moved to NYC postCOVID and refused to play the desperate pick me game. Instead, one thing I did, I became a regular. Not at some sceney club at a specific table in the back corner of Cervo’s, wine bar in the LES. Went every Wednesday, alone, with a book. Let the staff know me. Let the other regulars notice. Three months in, the somm introduced me to a group at the next table. No forced rooftop mingling, no cringy networking. Just showed up, stayed consistent, and let the city come to me. (Also, tip heavy. Always tip heavy.)

Over the last couple of months I’ve interviewed for a number of jobs and made it to second and third round interviews but never got an offer. My last interview was on Monday and I got feedback that I did not get selected because it did not seem like I was a a team player. Ive got three interviews coming up and l am wondering how I can improve my chances of getting an offer. Any ideas are welcome. I need a new job like yesterday.

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
