Depends on where you’re applying. Do you have experience in the industry? Are the roles you are applying for technology based?

Only worked in consulting since college. Not positive where I want to apply yet just want to use some down time to start putting it together but probably another consulting firm

If you’re staying in consulting, I would break your resume into internal and external projects. Unless, you’ve been on the same engagement for the last 5 years because you’d only have one. If you are trying to stay within the same service line (advisory, digital, public sector, etc.) I would highly those. If you’re hoping to jump to a different service line, you’ll have to be more creative.

I’m in the same boat OP-I noted on my resume “Select Case Experience” and then grouped my major projects that relate to the job posting and provided a couple of bullets for each. For example, one group may be current state assessment reviews, with 2-3 bullets describing the difference current state assessments I did for a couple of clients and the impacts.

Does anyone have a summary section at the top of their resume? Or just work, education, additional skills/info

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE. People may arrive at different destinations at different times while being on the almost similar path.
