Aspiring Management Consultant - Need Advice ASAP
I am an aspiring management consultant. I have followed this website and others for the past year and a half. I attend a non-target school (top 40), and I am graduating with honors in May.
Up until recently I had an elaborate plan that would help me break into management consulting. I took the LSAT and have been admitted to Georgetown University Law Center and New York University School of Law. I was hoping I could leverage this degree into an interview at MBB or Deloitte Consulting. The advanced degree would allow me to enter at the MBA level and I would be able to get around my non-target school background.
After conversations with employees at Bain and Deloitte Consulting it seems as if I have made a terrible mistake. They were both pretty clear about the fact that a JD, even from the aforementioned schools, will not help me break into consulting.
Now I have less than six weeks until graduation and every major recruiting cycle has passed.
What is the best solution to this problem? How can I break into management consulting?
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
All of the MBB firms will hire JDs at the MBA level, although McKinsey and BCG do more of it than Bain does.
It's a terrible plan, though. Don't go to law school unless you think you might want to be a lawyer. An ADC entry into a consulting firm is a good late course-correction option if you're a second year law student who is starting to think that law might not be the right fit for them. Going to law school with the express purpose of not being a lawyer is just a stupid idea to begin with unless there's some extraordinary circumstances (you're getting a free ride to law school, for example).
