Too little too late?? Any and all advice appreciated
I'm sure people post these mini bios all the time and it must get tiring but here goes,
Consulting GPA requirements, as high as people say?
Hey all, I only started frequenting this website a short while ago so forgive me if this has been asked to death already. Is the rep that MBB /other "top" consulting firms have for mostly/only hiring undergrad applicants with relatively high GPAs (3.75+) accurate? I am a rising junior at a...

HF Research vs. MBB Consulting --> PE/HF
Hi, new to WSO here. I'm evaluating a jump to either to a HF research position (for a low-profile but sizable AUM HF) or a Pre-MBA consulting position (think MBB or 2nd tiers like Parthenon, OW FS, Booz, etc). I eventually would like to do PE / HF , with a preference at the moment for PE (including...

Consulting Firms That Are More Non-Target Friendly?
Hi, I was wondering if there are any (presumably) lower brand name consulting firms that are more open to people from non-targets applying there or hire a larger number of them relative to MBB ? Also, would these smaller consulting firms still be good enough to go to a top 10-15 MBA so that I can...

Need some advice from the PE monkeys here... I used to workd for a second tier Bank in M&A and went to do the MBA thing at a HSW school.

Rating Agency to BB or Boutique?
I'm interning at a rating agency for my second summer in a row, and even though I essentially have a FT offer, banking is much more appealing. Right out of undergrad (3.5, nontarget), it would seem stupid to just be working a 9-5 job. Any thoughts on how to make the jump? Mind you, though, that...
#&*$ I JUST DON'T KNOW
"Study what you're passionate about" "Do what you love, you will never be able to work long, hard hours in a field you don't like" "Don't worry about recruiting just yet, you're not a junior yet in college- just enjoy college" I hear this shit all the time, but it doesn't work for me. It's too trite...

Consulting or Boutique IB for SA prep?
So I'm a soph at a non-target and don't think I'll be able to land an SA position next summer at a BB .

Consulting exit opps?
For firms that have a strict up or out policy, what do people do after they get asked to leave? What are some exit opportunities? I would assume any exit opportunity would be considerably worse than staying at the firm.

My problem is, I haven't...
