Analyst to Consulting

opt8 — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 14:37:33 -0400

I've recently accepted an Operations Analyst position for a top BB (GS/MS). This is what I wanted as I enjoy process improvement and project management, though I know the knee-jurk reaction on this site is opposite.

I was a SA and not to sound pompous, believe I was the top one or two analyst and will be placed in a consulting/project role vs. a documentation/data-entry. Background: Semi-Target, 3.6, 3 internships, diversity candidate, excellent leadership ECs, etc.

Long term, the idea of strategic management consulting is appealing...

- Is it possible to lateral as a Business Analyst at a BB to a BA at Mckinsey/Bain?

- What's the best way or route to position myself?

Any advice, thoughts, or knowledge of other's experience would be appreciated...Thanks!

I've searched the forums and internet in an attempt to figure out how to convert a word document to a pdf to preserve formatting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Google Chrome FYI

Google has created a new web browser..."chrome." I've been using it for a few weeks now and have been impressed. It will most likely dominate market share of internet space in the next 6-12 months.

Check it out.
