Are consulting rounds like hurdles?

Wondering if the rounds are seen as hurdles in the interview process. I.e, does your resume matter after getting past the resume round? Or is your evaluation purely contingent on your performance in a given round?

Management Consulting Model/Case Study Review

“Kevin provided a candid and unusually practical introduction to turnaround and restructuring advisory. He walked me through his path from EY audit to transaction advisory and restructuring, explained how boutique-firm experience and TMA networking shaped his opportunities, and described the range of work across restructuring, interim management, and M&A. His example of helping a rapidly growing consumer business improve supplier terms and gross margins made the impact of restructuring concrete. I especially valued his balanced, firsthand perspective on UCC work: he explained why it would not be his personal preference while acknowledging that it can suit people interested in forensic and dispute-related work. The conversation was generous, informative, and tailored to my transition questions. He also offered to review my résumé and continue the discussion.”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“I had an extremely valuable experience with my WSO mentor. The mock interview helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses while giving me a clearer understanding of how to improve my behavioural interview skills. I particularly appreciated the constructive feedback, practical advice, and specific recommendations on structuring and delivering stronger answers. The mentor was knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me improve. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone preparing for finance interviews.”
