Do you think I should be fine getting most first round interviews for summer recruiting if I come from an middle ivy (Dartmouth/Columbia/Penn/Brown), have a 3.8 in a liberal arts major w/ an econ minor, and have work experience at a bank with good name recognition?

I'm a little concerned b/c working at the bank is the only work experience I have and am wondering if I should try to get another quick internship under my belt during winter break or not.

Thanks!

I have been researching Finance Advisory firms for the past few days. I have been reading several sites. Some say Corporate Finance and M&A are the same thing. Others say they are different. Can some please help answer this question. Here is the question again "What is the difference between a M&A Consultant vs Corporate Finance Consultant"

How does pay differ along the career curve for BB vs. strategy consulting (talking Bain, McK, BCG etc.).?

Interesting in both analyst years and future potential earning (inclduing looking at potential roles it opens up)

Thanks all

Anyone interested in practicing some case interviews over the next few days over skype?

Hi guys, I am graduating from college and am going to start my master program soon.

But I really don't know which career should I go after, human capital consulting, management consulting or something related to finance? Here is my background:

I have double majors in Economics and Psychology for my undergrad,and the master program I am gonna start soon is related to Industrial/ Organizational Psychology. I think consulting, or human capital consulting, is probably most related to what I study. And I don't know if there is any other areas in consulting that also suit me.

Anybody know the email structure for IBM (GBS)?

Hi I'm wondering if anybody has had experience taking "online aptitude tests" at boutique consulting firms. Basically had a phone screen and theyre giving me this test (1.5 hours) before a final round. What should I expect here?

Hey everyone,

So I am a senior at a nontarget, (but one that has successful alumni - think NYU level). I had an internship in IB at a BB last summer and I fucked it up.

I don't regret it (at least not anymore) as I don't think I was quite ready for it. I do great at school (3.9 GPA) and I work hard outside of class in extra-curriculars, and in job applications. But there's something about actual 90 hour a week IB work experience that I just wasn't ready to pull off - stress got to me and my performance suffered.

I do not have an offer, nor do I have anyone from the internship I can ask to be my reference.

I will be at my school next year. This summer I am interning in IT consulting (think Accenture/IBM).

Hi folks

In need of some advice. I've been working for a Big 4 consulting firm for the past 4 months in health care management consulting (strategy and ops.) I might have the option to change sectors but not for at least 6 months-2 years. I also just completed a Masters degree in something completely unrelated and was just offered a corporate strategy position in an area that is perfectly aligned with this field of interest (tech/startups/telcos/etc)

The role pays about half as much and requires a move abroad. I will be working in strategy with a new unit in a F100 multinational, have access to a venture fund, develop in house products, and conduct detailed research on changing market trends.

Hey guys,

I applied to the position but I'm not really at all familiar with Consulting based interviews as my efforts have been focused on IB. What should I be expecting here? How can I prepare at this point and beyond it?

Anyone here knows how consulting is in Hong Kong? how different is the day-to-day work from its Western counterpart etc? any info is appreciated on this.

Financial services consulting. Anyone heard anything about them? They have a decent number of offices all over the world so was surprised to see there were nothing on WSO on them....

I have secured a first round interview with BCG, and I am deciding whether or not I want to change my preference to NYC from DC. My primary goal is to join BCG, but my secondary goal is to live somewhere that is exciting and diverse (NYC). Speaking to consultants and recruiters from the DC office and NYC office, I heard that the NYC office is hiring more than ever this year, and the DC office expanded from 120 to150 persons last year.

I know NYC is one of the most competitive office to get to, so I am thinking about keeping my preference to DC. What should I do???

Side note: I currently live in DC now.

is this under S&T? MO/BO? exit ops?

Hey guys,

I am recent graduate from the University of Waterloo, looking to land one of the scarce grad program jobs offered by the big banks and consulting firms in the country.

1)Has anyone successfully landed one of these jobs without having a big name summer internship..

2)What are some good strategies to landing an interview for these positions..

Hi guys,

Thanks in advance for reviewing my resume. I graduated from top 25 business school and am cfa level 3 candidate, and have been trying to transition into Investment banking or consulting from AM. Before I send my resume to all of my contact, I was wondering if there is anything I should change or add.
Thanks.

I have a first round interview with Capgemini's Financial Services Division. The problem is, I really have no idea what exactly they do!! The job description is pretty vague and their website is very opaque. As an undergrad consultant, what would be my day-to-day duties? What exactly do they do (specific business case example might help illustrate this better).

Thanks.

Is it possible to get into banking or consulting from economics at Queens. I know Queens business school is highly recruited but are economics students as recruited. Can somebody from Queens or who has finished up queens comment?
