Advice for full-time job search

Hey everyone, this is my first post here and I want to thank you all in advance for your help. I want to go through consulting recruitment for a full-time position this fall and could use some advice.

For background, I am a rising senior at a target (Vandy, Northwestern, Washu) and have a 3.54 gpa as an Econ and psych double major. In terms of experience, I worked at a small, no-name pe shop for my first two summers, a boutique consulting firm this past spring, and then have a f500 corporate strategy position this summer. However, the f500 firm is in a b2b space so although it is a leader in its industry it may not be that recognizable to the average person.

I honestly have no idea if I am competitive for strategy consulting firms or not but would be interested in firms that have a strong cpg or product strategy practice.

I would greatly appreciate any advice about firms that I would be competitive for and should pursue this fall.

Thank you!
