MA Economics --> Consulting(economic)

is this a viable route?

anybody have any sort of insight?

thanks in advance

I hope it's a viable route, because that's what I'm planning to do. I have an MA Econ and am looking to go into econ consulting. I have two good friends who currently work in top tier econ consulting firms, both of whom first got MAs in economics (one in London, one from my school but currently in Argentina). So, I don't know whether it's ideal or not, but it certainly seems doable.
