Hi there,

Firstly, message Imperial to get my course - we currently have a contract where you can get access to my full course for free! This should help with your screening issues.

My view is you should take the 3rd option: You need to do another round of networking and applying to try to get a US role before moving. Did you apply to 40+ firms and network with them beforehand and get your resume professionally reviewed?

If not, you need another round done right!

Additionally, you can always apply to do a degree in the US in parallel….see which one(s) land and make your choice then.

Hi there,

you should definitely try to secure some internal referrals for the US offices you want to apply to. If you got rejected everywhere at CV screening stage, chances are that your application documents are not “adequate enough” for a US audience and might have to be tailored in a different way. Sure, there could be timing issues with certain recruiting windows but if a firm thought you had a compelling profile, they’d typically let you know when to re-apply again rather than just reject you.

If you had more traction in the UK with your applications, you could also consider starting a consulting job there and then trying to transfer internally to one of their US locations after 2 years. Or applying to US firms again after that time but as an experienced hire.

If consulting is the kind of career you want to be in, then you should make sure to get a consulting job asap. At least you would be gaining relevant experience. Things like location could be adjusted over time as well.

Best

1st option: I don't thing the MiM will improve your situation in any way, so I would rule out this option

2nd option: I don't think you need to move to the US in order to network. As such, the best option would be to network extensively, but from the UK.
