I recently went to an information session with PwC Strategy& division (former Booz&Co), and got the same question. Apparently they do hire phDs and other masters as well; one guy who got a phD in geology from my school worked there.
Advanced degrees (PhD, MD, JD) to Consulting - Where are you planning to apply for FT position? (Originally Posted: 05/07/2016)
I'm a JD candidate, and I've applied to MBB and looking at other firms to apply to. Took McKinsey's CEB test, and I honestly don't know how it went.
I plan to apply to MBB and maybe Deloitte... I am not sure of any other consulting companies that hire PhDs
Do you know if Deloitte has a similar program for AD as the ones at MBB?
Anyone here applied to Bain's Advance into consulting?
I did! And I am looking for casing partner too if possible!
I applied as well, and I am also looking for casing partners.
