Boutique Summer Analyst Seeking Transition to Consulting

I am about to finish a summer internship at a Boutique Ibank.

I think its been a god damn waste of time and I want to start using my brain and actually doing challenging work.

I have heard that consultants are biased against people with banking internships. I also have a pretty mediocre GPA (3.4) but am a double major in business & statistics at a target (I think? but not an Ivy league)

I guess I'm worried that I will get screened out of the resume portion of recruiting for consulting internships (NOT full-time) as I am re recruiting for junior year internships

thx

 

i don't know if it's just me, but i haven't had luck with consulting firms after having 2 previous banking internships on my resume. I straight up haven't gotten interviews for most, and when I do they always make some comment about my banking background. I don't particularly care since I want to do banking, but if your heard is set on consulting, I would diversify that resume fast.
