Hi guys,
I'm trying to network my way for a FT consulting job, but it seems consultants are not as willing to meet as ibankers (travelling, client confidentiality, etc.). I also don't have many MC events at my school, but my school is a major IB school, so I'm afraid I don't really have a shot at actually meeting anybody! Is there something I'm missing about networking with MC?
I am probably borderline acceptable for MBB even with some contacts, so I'd really like to actually meet someone.
Thanks!
I am also interested to know the difference in IB and MC.
I am working for an MBB, and my experience has been that networking is not very important for consulting (well, definitely not as important as it is for banking; I have also worked at a BB). Meeting people can help you to the extent that it shows the firms that you are interested. But, whereas in banking knowing a couple people can really make or break you, I don't think individual consultants in consulting can/will pull you through the recruiting process.
I wouldn't worry too much about missing out from networking sessions for MC. If you want, you can probably e-mail the recruiter for your school from each of the firms you are interested in and ask if you can get in contact with a consultant from the firm. Best of luck!
