If you can get an equivalent of a "Global Business Services" internship/co-op in a F500 company that would be relevant. Corporate Development works too. Big-4 consulting is extremely competitive unlike general tax/audit.
Some may disagree, but as an Econ major weighing consulting, you should look at top Think-Tanks.
ex: If you're center-right - The Heritage Foundation
Here to learn and hopefully pass on some knowledge as well. SB if I helped.
zach9I'd hate to inundate the forum with posts from inexperienced undergrads, but I wasn't able to find much using the search function.
I'm currently a sophomore studying finance and economics (non-target, but very solid business school) and want to pursue a career in consulting. What internships/experiences should I seek to better prepare myself for recruiting?
I know that landing an internship in consulting as an undergrad is extremely competitive, but what are the alternatives? (corporate finance, big-4, etc.?) I have interned at a regional BB in private wealth management, but I know this experience is more of a filler on my resume.
Thanks.
In addition to finding a good internship, get involved in some extracurriculars that you are passionate about and also will let you develop your leadership skills. Firms like seeing evidence of you taking leadership positions that teach you how to influence and motivate people. Better yet, start an on-campus club, organization, service project, etc. on your own
