Investment Consulting Post MBA

Long time lurker here....

I'm currently in a ~top 15 MBA program and wanted to know what people think of investment consulting (cambridge/mercer/etc..) post MBA in terms of career progression, exist options - other roles to pivot into, pay? Also, just as a summer internship how likely is it to re-recruit 2nd year to an asset management role doing security analysis (such as fundamental equity or fixed income).
