Which one is the best offer to take if my plans are to go to MBA and try breaking into MBB?
Went through recruitment and unfortunately was unable to land a strategy consulting offer, mostly due to GPA. I do have some good non-strategy choices on the table, but was wondering which one would be most conducive to getting me into a top MBA program (and breaking into MBB) in the long run?
- Healthcare consulting company
- Top litigation/econ consulting offer (think Cornerstone Research, Analysis Group, NERA)
- Not consulting related, but a "brand name" Asset Management firm working as an analyst
I'm based on the East Coast and have a quant background. Thoughts? Thanks!
Not sure what economic consultants do. As for healthcare consulting, if it is business\strategy operations consulting for healthcare industry and a reputable shop, it might be a good start to transition to healthcare practice at MBB.
Honestly, all of these are good offers and you won't go wrong picking any if your goal is to go to MBA and then MBB.
However, I have to say that taking a position from either the healthcare or NERA/Cornerstone/etc. is viewed as quite impressive and you could probably transition directly to MBB after a 2-3 year stint. Esp. if NERA since you need great quant and qual skills to get in - I know a few people who accepted positions at NERA and then moved to MBB.
