Tier 2 Consulting VS F500 (Consulting Arm)
Hi guys,
I am having to choose between a management consulting role at a Tier 2 Consulting Firm (Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Kearney, Strategy&) and a Fortune500 company. Considering that I am not planning to stay for long before I leave to do my masters abroad at a top European BS and pursue a career in PE, what do you think is the best option atm (especially in terms of brand, CV etc)?
Take the T2 and try to staff on DDs?
Thanks for that, appreciate it. In terms of brand do you think the T2 is the winner too?
If your end-goal is PE, why would you do a Masters?
I'd personally aim for something like Strategy& Deals and try to leave straight into PE after 2 years. Where are you based?
Thanks for taking the time! I'm based in Greece actually where ops to join the great brands are very limited. I'm planning to do a masters abroad hoping to open up some job prospects in London or Central EU. Until then, I will have to work locally for a year or two and I am kinda worried about the brand- and industry-stigma that comes with the choice that I make.
T2. F500 internal consulting teams will not provide you a comparable experience, skills toolkit, or brand
Thank you for your reply. I was afraid so. What if I told you that with respect to the F500 op, it is not in-house consulting; rather external with focus on fintech?
No problem, happy to help
The additional detail would not change my answer. Ultimately, if you want a consulting experience you should join consulting. The market probably won't perceive you as an ex-consultant in the same way, it is unlikely that a F500 will provide a similar training / learning experience, and the work is likely narrower in scope
