In this urgent episode, we reveal breaking intel from top consulting firms: candidates are getting blacklisted for using AI tools like ChatGPT during interviews and applications - and it's happening more than you'd think.

We dive into how firms are detecting AI abuse, why it's leading to automatic disqualification, and what this means for virtual interviews going forward.

If you're applying to consulting roles this season, this is a must-listen.
