Am pursuing MBA at an M7 school. Which functions/industries in consulting carry the most high-end/premium work that the brightest consultants go after? Eg, MBB have several functions and industries they operate in. Which area is top notch? I've heard the standard answer that all are equal and i don't believe that - it just sounds politically correct.
