I really need help getting a job in consulting
Hi I'm a 24m who has been trying to get into consulting for the past two years and this upcoming fall cycle would be my third time applying for an entry-level position so I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback.
a) I'm mainly interested in management consulting but am open to exploring all types.
b) I'm looking to apply for entry role positions but honestly am not sure if that would be the right one to apply to in my decision(sm1 let me know if this is still correct to apply to after looking at my part d). I want to target T2 since in the past I've gotten a couple interviews and for MBB I haven't gotten any.
c)open to work anywhere in the US. would love to move to NYC but I just really want a decent job at this point
d) I finished college in 2023 at a top 15 target school (GPA 3.5) with a double major in business and econ and did a 1 year graduate program at another top 15 target school (GPA 3.5). I don't have any full-time experience and my internship experience ranges mostly at small companies, not in consulting. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life during college and mainly was interested in fashion so I didn't join any clubs/have connections related to consulting.
I'm in this weird state I feel like where I'm not qualified as an experienced hire but am on the older side. Would love to just hear and get advice from anyone who went through something similar and what worked best for them.
IMO your best bet is to do something related to your studies and get some type of work experience... get a promotion or two and then look to move into consulting
This is wrong. OP should still qualify for entry-level recruiting at most firms given no full time work experience yet. Starting any job will eliminate this pipeline (though this is the last cycle you’ll have with it anyway).
You will candidly not be able to lateral into consulting from a normal corporate job unless the economy improves drastically. If you strike out this time, would aim for an M7 MBA in a few years if you still want to make the switch
he qualifies in term of eligibility, but not in actual qualifications. no job experience with a graduate degree is not a good look.
