50 applications and nothing. No callbacks, no interviews, just silence.

If that's where you are right now, it doesn't mean the market is broken (though parts of it are). It usually means something specific in your approach needs to change. Could be targeting, could be resume positioning, could be how you're applying.

Nobody tells you directly. But the signals are there if you know what to look for.

Meet Karthik Ramachandran, our newest Consultant Exit mentor.

Karthik spent 7 years at BCG, earned his MBA at Wharton (Palmer Scholar), and has held roles at Mondelez, Meta, and Kimberly-Clark. He's now Director of Finance at Catalyst Brands. He's also coached over 200 mentees into offers at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, and more.

His sweet spot is helping you figure out which direction to go. If you can't narrow it down, he'll help you pick the right sandbox and go all in.

If you're interested in working with Karthik, you can join the Inner Circle and get a free intro call with any mentor in our network, or book a single session directly.
