Stability of Consulting - Wharton studying bio and economics
Hey guys,
Well, I am currently an undergraduate in a dual degree program (LSM) at Wharton that enables me to get both a biology and economics degree. Additionally, the univeresity hooks me up with a science and a business internship that are both allegedly pretty good. So, ya thats a little background on me.
As an incoming freshman, though, I have a few questions about consulting. My biggest fear about some of these finance jobs is career stability. That is what is turning me away from banking. I don't like the idea that you can lose your job any day for really any reason there. Is job stability much better in Consulting? Additionally, how easy would it be for me to go from Wharton (assuming I do fairly well..like 3.7+ GPA) into Healthcare consulting for a top tier firm like McKinsey? Finally, I understand that hours for consulting average about 70 hr/week not including travel time. Do most people find that that is more bearable than banking work hours?
Haha I'm sorry if I sound like a total n00b here btw! As I said, I really am exploring finance right now and would greatly appreciate any insight you guys could offer.
Thanks!!!!
If you are good at what you do in finance, there will always be career stability, as long as your niche is not obscure. Think about it and ask your alumni network to confirm.
