Need some early career advice
Hey y'all, new here but wanted to ask for some pointers/knowledge. I graduated from a top target (think HYP) this past May, and spent my senior year + most of this summer working on a fintech startup that I cofounded. Due to some circumstances (can't disclose for anonymity purposes) I abruptly ended my employment at the company, and thought I try my hand at recruiting for management consulting - having talked to friends at MBB and other firms, I'm confident that I'll be able to succeed in the industry.
I've been applying to roles for the past 3/4 weeks and haven't heard back from the majority of firms I've applied to, and didn't get past the single first round that I had with a boutique. I'm fortunate enough to be able to live with my parents for now while I find employment, but internal pressure is mounting for me to find a job.
Wanted to ask y'all - is there something in my background (resume attached) that's raising red flags? Am I just not being patient enough? Finally - if anyone's been in a similar situation before, how did you manage to dig yourself out of it? Would appreciate any help.
WSO keeps auto placing this post into the VC forum, not sure what's going on
Jk, figured it out
Not a red flag, but right off the bat, of the 16 bullet points you have listed, only 3 list any actual impact of your work (last 2 in your Statrup and 2nd one in the Defense Co). The others are either general in nature or describe a job task (same as in a job ad or job description)
If we can't identify impact from your bullets, it basically implies that you didn't accomplish anything. Now I'm sure that's not the case for you, given what your profile suggests, but then make sure to emphasise those outcomes / impacts in your bullets (whether quantitative or qualitative)
