What are your longer term goals, post strategy consulting?

Showing impact and growth at work will be very important, backed up by strong recs. Are you also involved in activities outside of work? Any additional hobbies and interests?

targeting the first rounds will be important, but you’d need to narrow down your target list of programs? Do you have any geographic preferences, within the US?

It looks like you are of Indian origin and likely did your studies there (as well as your initial work experience)? If so, the move to Dubai is certainly interesting and will add an element to your profile. Of course, I'd still apply in the first round, given the level of competition you will face as an over-represented candidate. Would be good to know if you have any ECs, since that could be a differentiator and a difference maker here... Best of luck and thanks for your post!
