I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has contributed on here. It has helped with my soul searching, and decision to enter consulting as THE career.
I am a UWaterloo Engineering Alumni in Canada. I have worked for an oil major (5 years). I am now looking to establish Consulting as my career. Going through case interview preps and voraciously reading about consulting, I think I just found my dream career. I wish I had known about consulting when I finished school.
When working for the oil major, I was running side businesses/startups in the evenings. I didn't need the money. I do not know why, but i gravitated towards running businesses. I find it fascinating. I have run a wine import agency (total failure), a real estate investment fund with $3 million in acquisitions (semi-successful), and now I am in the tech startup space (not going well).
I am currently networking, and starting from scratch trying to get a consulting job. Looking to get in as an Associate at MBB, if not Consultant.
How do you suggest I tell my story of semi-successful businesses and failed startups? Does it look bad on my resume that I do not have a a successful multi-million dollar exit? How would MBB judge my resume that I used to run businesses and tech startups while have an oil major job?
Feel free to provide feedback, positive or negative.
