Anything for example McKinsey way of thinking where I get certificates aligning me with consultancy.

Any courses I can do to get into consulting?

Product Manager

I need some advice. 

1. I am a fresher and am considering giving the CAT exam this year. 
2. Currently working as a data science intern and frankly, not enjoying it a bit. I dread debugging. I also feel everyday that AI can easily do 75% of my work. 
3. I want some business side roles, thinking I won't have to stare at a screen all day, fixing bugs. 

What roles can I expect after doing a MBA, is it worth the extra 2 years and the money, and if you are someone who can relate to my situation, what are some of the things you enjoy about your work and some things which you absolutely hate. 

I might have completely wrong expectations, so please feel free to correct me.

Life after MBA

I am very fascinated by Management Consulting and been speaking with ex consultants. All of them are critical of it, but agree the money is good 🤤

Need advice 

- Do these companies take lateral hires? I have seen only IIM candidates freshly graduated being taken in
I'm not IIM, but MBA with 6 years of work ex

- MBB have shittiest WLB and highest money. Which comes down as per tier. Which is the best tier to get into, so I have best of both worlds (less shitty WLB with lesser money)

Getting into Management Consulting

Consultant

Hi! I'm graduating this semester and would want to get some work ex before pursuing my masters. Should I go for the BCG Training Program? It's an 18 month paid stint in their GS office. Would it increase my chances of getting placed as an associate at BCG after those 18 months? Or is working as a consultant/ analyst in a (much) smaller firm better?

Is it hard to get into MBB firms in Bangalore/India? Any tips?

Fresher looking to venture into consulting

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello Folks,

I'm currently working at Google, and I'd decided to soon quit for getting an MBA (expecting admits to IIM-A/B/C) to break into consulting, specifically MBB or even Product Management.

Honestly, I'm interested in it for industry exposure, the chance to climb the ladder quickly, and, let's be real, the fat paychecks. 

But then I did a lot of research and, dang, it's all doom and gloom. Is the work-life balance in consulting really that bad?
 
I'm starting to question my plans. Anyone out there got some real-world experience to share and some genuine insights?

Project Manager

I am just a graduate and never got time to do MBA since I got first job post college. Now while switching jobs, I see recruiters are in need of MBAs. 

Does anyone have done MBA ex and got an edge or faced any issues while joining any company?

MBA Executive program

Strategy & Operations

I have done my MBA from a tier 3 institute and find it a little difficult to make into strategic positions in my organisation. 

Has anyone found themselves in a similar situation in the past ? If yes then what was your roadmap to get into strategic positions in your organisation. 

Does the second MBA ( especially an executive one from tier 1 institute) make sense. 

Would love to listen to different perspectives here.

Does a second MBA make sense ?

It’s quite expensive to pursue one, but I’m worried not doing it will stagnate my career long term. Any views on whether I should apply (4yrs work experience currently, have worked in a boutique consulting firm previously). 

Any help will be sincerely appreciated!!

Analyst

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey people,
   I am a software engineer. I am thinking of pivoting to leadership kind of roles like EIR, founders office, product manager, etc. 
   For people who are currently in such roles or know people in these roles, do you think people from tech(engineering) background, pivoting to this role at age of 24-25 yrs is advisable? Would people hiring for these roles see that I don't hold an MBA?
   What are the things about these roles I should be aware of?

Consulting exit

In the search for better placement opportunities I often find that strategy consulting is often leading the chart in terms of roles and salaries.I came across Alt Uni's Certification for Management Consulting.Since I am doing my MBA from a Tier-2 college in Bangalore.I find that this certification will open my doors to Strategy consulting especially MBB's. Any opinion on this will truly help me.

Cracking MBB from Tier 2 MBA

Management Consulting

Welcome to Consulting's Private Community

Graduated from NMIMS in 2023- BSc Finance. Interned at some marquee IB firms and startups. 

Working at an NBFC in an MD's office role- Strategy Consultant since then.

Having done multiple projects for the company, I now want to switch to a consulting company where I can have a more diversified set of projects. 

But the market being the way it is, I'm not able to find reasonably good opportunities on LinkedIn. 

How do I go about the whole thing then? Would be grateful for any suggestion or referrals.

Looking for some guidance

How is the culture? Anyone worked/working there?

Also, JD talks about 'ambiguous' and 'unstructured' team, so red flags showing already 🚩

Rumours that McKinsey year end bonus cut by 50%, can anyone confirm?

Did McKinsey hire McKinsey to figure out how McKinsey should do cost cutting in a negative macro environment?

Does Accenture strategy only hire MBAs?
If yes, can executive MBA help in securing a job? (even in other companies like BCG, Bain etc)
I have bachelors and thinking about doing MBA to accelerate my career path.

Accenture Strategy

Btech Cgpa - 9.415 (till 6th sem)

I am thinking of giving CAT next year but in dilemma that should I go for work experience or not . As iims do prefer people having work experience. 

And what percentile should I aim for getting admission in old IIMs.

Thanks in advance.

At what role consulting firm hire post MBA?

Hey. I'm a post graduate from a tier 1 MBA college currently working as a management consultant in one of the Big4s (<1 year). Compensation is good (~30 lpa), can't complain. Work has been stagnant for a while firm wide though and have just been focused on upskilling myself.

With the interactions I've had till now, I don't really see myself building any hard skills other than data analysis in excel, power BI and business acumen here. (I might just be ill informed here, but are these transferrable skills I can take to the industry? I know data analysis is the bread and butter for business everywhere but I'm talking about specific software and whatnot used in companies) 


1. I'm just worried about the exit opportunities that I might have later on. Can anyone shed some light on what kind of exit opportunities one can expect?

2. Let's say I want to get into the operations side of the industry. Is there anything I can do if I'm not necessarily involved in such projects?
