I guess this also serves as a reminder that we always think we have these great exit opps within our reach and our consulting experience gives us a leg up, but sometimes don't realize that the people we're competing against are also consultants with equally impressive profiles.

Where has 6 rounds?

No

Exit opportunities are not nearly that great. Too many consultants out there with a similar if not better skillset

same here going through 5 interviews. and all the feedback they gave me was "we're looking for someone with a bit more experience" :(

I feel your pain. I made it all the way to the founder of a small firm but didn't make it. I will try again in the future because I did receive good feedback.

It’s been really hard to keep my head up after what feels like endless rejection. Received a no today about position I really wanted. The interviews felt so genuine and I was even told I’d be a good fit. Ultimately it just seems that my experience isn’t translating, which really sucks when you feel stuck in your current role and want to make a transition. I’m so eager to keep learning. Would love to connect with any brand/account directors to get some advice.
