Planning to do many more interviews with friends at my MBA program! Which fields are you curious about most?

@harshamanne446 2 года назад

Tech(Product Management/Marketing), Entrepreneurship & Marketing. Some resources which can help in understanding what specialization within these would entail.

The MBA is so expensive. Why go into that much debt? Why not take that money and invest it instead

does she have a youtube or anything? her talking skills are rly impressive if its her first time

@shivanshshukla5883 2 года назад

No I think a Consultant needs communication to talk to clients and confidence comes from going for undergrad to Penn

Friend said only do consulting for max 3 years and then get hell out

@kevin__7459 Год назад

How come?

@ChickBilly Год назад

It depends!

@kevin__7459 Год назад

@@ChickBilly on what if you could explain please?

@ChickBilly Год назад

@@kevin__7459 there are generally 2 options in consulting: 1. Do 2-3 years and leave usually for a mid-manager position in corporate; 2. Do consulting as a career. Both options are driven by personal preferences, desire of good work-life balance, as well as a combination of skills, physical and mental health. When choosing consulting as a career, the end goal is to become Partner/VP, so having max 3 years is not realistic as a timeline, and more likely 7-9 years are needed to reach Partner level. There are also exceptions to the up-or-out of the Partner track, mainly in boutique consulting companies, and who does not have ambitions to became a Partner, can leverage skills and knowledge to be an industry expert (generally remaining with a Director title indefinitely).

Don’t do consulting- too long hours

@AnNguyen-vn4sy 2 года назад

It's not for everyone, but long hours is subject to the individual. I don't work long hours and making 6 figures (mid to high six figures). It's all about time management and leveraging tech and employees.

@lskknl10 2 года назад

@@AnNguyen-vn4sy Not really. It’s about the number of projects you have and the number of people you have. Management consulting is PowerPoint hell.

@shivanshshukla5883 2 года назад

@@lskknl10 Is there a job in the finance world where you don't have to work long hours but it gives you above average pay ? Not sarcastic just a sophomore scared by seeing 100 hours a week and 80 hours it's pure torture

@lskknl10 2 года назад

@@shivanshshukla5883 trading and sales work when the markets are open. 6am-4pm. Asset management is also ok. Don’t need to pitch that much. Then PE and venture capital. Research when it’s season need to work resonably long hours. Investment banking and management consulting work long hours overnight and weekends because of PowerPoint hell and number crunching I believe.
