Honestly speaking no certification will get you to MBBs. There are only 2 ways - 1. Be from a target college; 2. Gain really high quality experience in a field and become a specialist, network your ass off and hopefully get a referral for a position.  
  
 Also MBBs have knowledge centers where even T2 MBAs are target colleges so you can give those a shot.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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- Grapevine

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 Guys,
I  am working as a software developer in Oracle( btech from old IIT) . Its been 2 years and I now want to switch to management consulting (preferable in MBB) to experience it so want to give MBA.

1. I did some research but I want to gain some information on the salary aspect of it. I heard that the salaries are not that high they would probably be in the same range that I am getting now. BUT, I want to know in the long run do consultants get more hikes compared to tech roles? 

2. I heard the wlb is pretty bad so is there some resource that I can study to know if thats the right suit for me since its a big risk I’ll be taking moving on to a different field. There are some good exit opportunities also I believe after MBB can someone tell more about it.

Would really appreciate some answers on this. Its on my head for a long time. Cheers!

Software Developer

Hi everyone, I am currently working as an IB analyst (front end) in a boutique shop. Our core focus is equity and debt funding in the startup space (seed to series b usually). 

Its been an year since I have joined and I am looking to switch. Joining a mid market or a bigger boutique shop makes more sense by the book and I have some connections for the same but I have been really interested in management consultancy and want to give it a shot before MBA. 

The thing is, I graduated from a tier 2 private college and most of the consultancy firms I know of give a huge importance to pedigree and prefer hiring from tier-1 institutes. Does it make sense for me to try getting in through referrals or is it smarter to aim for this post MBA. And to begin with, do I even stand a chance to get into some good consultancy firm?

Does Accenture strategy only hire MBAs?
If yes, can executive MBA help in securing a job? (even in other companies like BCG, Bain etc)

Accenture Strategy

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?

Thinking of switching to non-tech(leadership) from tech

I'm a 28-year-old guy currently employed as a data scientist at a Fortune 500 company, earning a respectable annual salary of 24 lakhs. Lately, I've been contemplating pursuing an MBA, but I haven't initiated my GMAT preparation yet. I'm wondering if it's a wise move to transition my career in this direction. I've heard that individuals with a tech background who graduate from IIM/ISB might need to begin their careers anew, typically with a salary in the range of 27 to 28 lakhs. Can you confirm if this is accurate?

How can one get into consulting

Business Development Manager

At what role consulting firm hire post MBA?

Hi,
I am working in an mnc as a software developer since 2 years after graduating from a top tier IIT. But I don’t see myself doing this in the next 5 years.
Should I do an MBA from top tier IIM college? I know it will not be beneficial in short term but in long term is it a good idea? 
Anyone from similar backgrounds do share your experience.

Should I do MBA after IIT

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 part of core product team in fintech. Looking to move into management consulting. How to?

PM to consult?

Product Manager

While over the years, I was chasing Investment Banking and Consulting roles, realised how underrated AM is as a profession.

Surely not as lucrative as IBD in terms of pay and prestige, but it is a sweet career path. The anxiety due to working into consulting became unbearable after a certain point and I realised that it's good, the growth is nice with decent pay but I don't think I can handle the stress of clocking 60+ hours a week and it's better to leave than being completely burned out.

In AM, I make much more than I used to make in consulting. I barely work 40-42 hours a week compared to 60+ in my consulting days with much more job stability and a better work environment. It's not all roses. There are days when there is a bit of pressure but these days are far and few in between and are much less brutal. I have enough time now to do whatever I want. Gym in the morning. Office at 10 and a game of tennis is the evening after work. Not to mention, I have enough time to spend with family.

I talk to my friends working in IBD on a daily basis and frequent rants about poor quality of life is now a part of our daily conversations.

I finally reached at a point when I realised that I should stop running after higher pay and start considering other aspects of life. Not saying that one should stop chasing money, but just the compensation should not be the only factor. All that money is of no use when you don't have the time to spend it with the same set of people you are earning this money for.

Left my Consulting job and moved to Asset Management. One of the best career decisions I have made.

Expecting to learn more about the management consultant world and their salaries. As a techie, your field of work always seem mysterious

Management consultant salaries

I was wondering if a person with 12 years and above experience in a manager position with a consulting firm or a product manager in a product firm should opt for an Executive MBA? 

Will it add more finesse to the person's career skills or is it just for the sake of a tag?

Executive MBA after 12-13 years of work experience. Is it worth it? Please share your thoughts

I currently work as a senior analyst in risk management and analytics at one of the big 3. Don’t really like the work or long hours. What are my exit options? 
Can I move to tech in some product or strategy roles?
Or can I get a VC or PE analyst role?

Appreciate if anyone can share their experience of post exit from consulting.

I'm a pre-MBA working professional.

1. Is it worth participating in a business case competition to build a good MBA profile?

2. Does winning a BCC make a difference in MBA admission selection?

3. If BCC is worth doing it then please send some recommendations.

Thank you!

Business Case Competition (BCC)

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?
