What does is take for a person to get into Big 4 and especially for the person who has never worked for a big name on the resume?

I have seen less deserving people get into Big4 only coz once in their career they've worked for a name that is big enough to be known and at the same place I don't even receive an interview call.
What am I doing wrong?
It can't be my resume coz it got picked by FAANG for a similar role.
But my interest lies in consulting
How to overcome this?

Just get a couple of years of experience in a client facing consulting role and you can jump to any big4.

Your best bet is to get referred by someone who works at a big 4 firm and have them tap the recruiter’s shoulder. Honestly, it’s near impossible to get hired just by applying on the career sites with your resume.

@MKC1 what was your background?

The big 4 are not the only consulting firms out there, you may look for other options also and still become a consultant. Have the perks of travelling and not having to pay for a house to live in nor the flights.

I’m leaving next week.
