Pranay,

High level, this looks fine. But I'm literally zooming in on a screenshot. If you're looking for an in-depth professional assessment, reach out. 

Otherwise, you might find yourself having to puzzle contradicting pieces of advice from multiple people and you might still not be heading in the right direction. 

With the CV (like with other things, but with the CV in particular for the application process) it's worth investing and doing it right. 

Best,
Cristian

Hi, 

I would recommend working with a coach on Preplounge to polish the CV. FOr example one question the CV raises, what did you do the year after graduation? I see you have extra curricular there but depending on what you did, it might be better positioned as work experience to avoid any questions. Also question is what did you do 2025? Again the extra curricular?

In terms of level you can target: at best Consultant level (BCG) / Associate (McK).

Let me know if you need help!

Best,
Lukas

 

You have a good resume. In general however, given the very high competition one faces for roles in MBB, it would help tremendously to have a top MBA school there. If not then you can leverage your current experience and network to get an interview and take it from there. All the best,

Udayan
