Goldman Sachs PWM vs. Barclays IBD & Houlihan Lokey IBD to MBB Consulting
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I could ask about the pros and cons of moving from either GS PWM or Barclays/HL IBD to McKinsey, bain, BCG for management consulting full time after an internship in finance?
What is the best option and why? And any other things to think about? Thanks!
IBD more transferable because you'll be looking at company strategy, speaking to management, creating operating models, etc. PWM very relationship based and top level asset allocation, not very specific Security Analysis.
IBD definitely more relevant for moving to consulting
Use the search bar. New members ask this question literally every 2 weeks or so.
I had a similar question, could someone comment on BB AM vs. BB ER for moving into MBB consulting? Which would pick up more steam with resume readers?
I think it doesn't matter. Both can be justified. PWM: Client skills IBD: Research Skills these skills are from the internships. It would really help if you have prior consulting experiences before this coming summer.
So to give a little more background and ask about best opportunities.
If my aim is McKinsey, and I am an engineering and mathematics double major, but I am from a non-target school ( school is very good for technical not business), and I can do a banking internship at Barclays this summer. Would my chances be good for full time recruiting?
^Input other positions that I have listed as well: Goldman Sachs Investment Management, and a boutique firm that has a lot of news and press in NYC for investment banking, and HL for IB.
