Did I miss my window for Big4 consulting? Or consulting anywhere?

I’m a recent MBA graduate from a school that big 4 firms recruit directly from. Unfortunately for me I only had the epiphany that I wanted to go into healthcare consulting a few months ago at the end of my program. In talking to connections they got in through campus recruiting and now with not being a student it will be “harder”. Did I actually miss my window to get in?

Pain from sex

A few years ago I started getting this excruciating pain at the end of sex or just after. I can feel when the pains about to come. Starts off slow then builds and decreases to back down to nothing. Lasts anywhere from 5-15min during which I’ll be in fetal position or on my back with my knees up. The pain is like if my ovaries were being branded and are on fire while knives are in it. I get cold sweats and feel my face go blue and get dizzy. I can’t stand up straight from the pain let alone walk. Then just like that it’s gone. I noticed it happens when i have sex before my period when my cervix is lower but i still don’t know why i feel that pain. I went to the doctor where she did an ultrasound and said i might have endometriosis so to get keyhole surgery to find out. I just don’t want to get cut up just to find out yes or no for something that can’t be cured. I made an appointment for another opinion. Curious if anyone else has felt this.

[US] At what point do I seek an employment attorney?

After opening up to a few people including HR about the verbal abuse and sexual harassment I’ve been under, I’ve been considering it. Two people have already told me my complaints deserve a lawsuit. Some of the things I endured included: large pay gap competitively to peers with way less tenure and experience, selfies from my manager, my manager blocking me from applying to other roles internally (i am not and never have been on any PIP) saying things like he won’t message back a hiring manager interested or sends me a paragraph to tell me he would never recommend me for any role in the organization and no one would ever consider me so good luck even though Im well respected across the org and he says daily he doesn’t want to lose his best employee and he’ll be reporting to me one day, calling me “little girl” or “I’m cute when I’m mad”, using my name as an example in front of our team insinuating i sleep with customers and calling it a joke, lastly i told him a doctor tried to kiss me during a meeting and i ran out to which he asked if it was a big customer then upon saying no said ok you don’t have to see him then. There’s also another male leader higher than him who’s fixated on me since i first started at the company. He has never been a direct manager to me but flys out several times to “coach me” where we end up going to lunch dinner and drinks, he bully’s me and belittles me any chance he gets saying things like “i have a soft resume”, “im the loser of my family”, “i have a soft education never having gone to an Ivy League school” but when i get recognized by even higher leadership he sends me handwritten cards about my performance being so amazing and takes credit for me behind my back. I work at a large very well known global organization so I’m scared for many reasons: the case not going anywhere and now I’m more uncomfortable than i was before and more broke from attorney fees, retaliation (yes I’ve left the company recently but I’m still scared), reputation and getting backlisted in the industry. Again HR knows now because shed out one on ones on everyone’s calendar to find out why there is 70% turnover and i ended up trauma dumping on her. She was speechless and pushed me to talk to employee relations to file a report. She documented everything I said to her. Our follow up call is when i put my two weeks in to which she said employee relations would still reach out but I never heard a word from them. What do I do?
