Technical Consulting, are you stuck?
So, my recruiting season, up to this point, has not gone well. My internship experience is IT related but I want to do strat work. A contact at Deloitte basically told me i'd have a lot better shot at the technical analyst position then their business analyst position. But I don't want to do technical consulting. So my question is this, are MBA admissions from a technical consulting role much tougher than a strategy consulting role? And would taking a job as a technical analyst stop me from getting into a more strategy related role later on or post MBA?
Thanks for the answers in advance.





my advice is if you already
my advice is if you already know that you are not interested in doing IT consulting then don't. Doing something you hate for years is clearly going to be something you regret. I suggest you look at smaller mgmt consulting boutiques and put some effort into convincing them you want to work there. It will then set you up much better to go into other roles and bschool.
Thanks for the advice Joe.
Thanks for the advice Joe. I'm trying to get in with some boutique firms as well so we'll see how it goes. Anyone else have any opinions?
