MBB Analyst position with 1 year of experience in an unrelated industry
I recently learned that consulting firms hire applicants from other industries into the analyst level given that the applicants don't have more than a year of experience in their current position. I'm graduating from an Ivy league school in Spring 2024 with a 3.7 GPA and starting as a SWE at a top company, but I want to make the switch to consulting because with time I've realized I want to either get into management positions or private market investments in frontier markets ( firms like DPI, IFC, JPM DFI ...). My question is how common is this route into MBB. Are there a good amount of people that come into the industry as analysts after having worked in other fields or is this route much more difficult than going into consulting directly from undergrad as a FTE?
Hey newtoniachi, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:
