I studied a really 'non-traditional' major in school (graduated with high honors from UCB in 2000) but have had the hardest time breaking into consulting. I minored in business though.
I got to final round with McK, Monitor, Accenture, but no offers. That was regrettable.
So I then worked a year in software.
Now the market is even tighter. Arggghh... I love business problem solving and research, and feel I would *really enjoy* working at a strat firm ideally, though I'd go for almost anything by now.
Trouble is, I can't get interviews now (despite calling my contacts from last year).
Does anyone have any advice on how to break in to consulting (eg: search firms, search strategies, etc.?)
Thanks in advance!
