1) This is very relative, but these consultants do make a good amount of money, especially on the health care side.

2) Moving to private equity is fairly difficult. Same goes with their small IB group.

3) lol

Do you know someone at the company? They seldom hire and usually only look at top south eastern schools (Vandy, Emory, UNC, Duke, etc) for their ATL division. Might be different for SF though.

This is for the NYC office. Can anyone offer any other insight?

Possibly. Do you have anymore detailed questions?

I am more familiar with their ATL office than the NY one.

Very solid firm though.

Exit opps? Do consultants typically stay or can they move on to other consulting firms? How is the bschool placement?

Well, like I said previously, this is not a Big4. I know more about the ATL region than the NY region. In ATL it is a very respected consulting firm. It can get you into great schools in the region like Vandy, Emory, Duke, UNC due to the alumni network there. The network also stretches to ivy schools as well. This also depends on your GPA and GMAT.

Exit ops to other firms (at least for ATL) are very manageable; however, most people seem to climb in the company or move to different divisions (Health Care consulting to IB or PE).

KSA has a consulting divison, IB division and PE division. They also have a presence in Germany as well.

Hello,

I wanted to know more about the ATL division. I was wondering if you can give me your thoughts on these topics:

Culture Career Progression within the firm Type/ Diversity of Project for entry level consultants

and really what hotels do they stay in when travelling :)

Would really appreciate your thoughts on this

 

I have a perception of BearingPoint in the nordics to be mid-market operations and typically longer implementation projects / interim resource consulting. However, this is surely a bit exaggerated and they will probably have some strategy projects as well. Ask them in interviews about their share of strat projects, and discount that with 50% to get close to the real value. The brand BP should allow you to transition if and only if you have done a large share (50%+) of strategy related projects during your time there. So focus on building the "right cv" and getting strategy projects when you are there. I don't know of KS and would stay away from IBM from a brand perspective if your goal is to transition to boutique strat.

 

This thread is useless without pics...brb using my imagination.

Which division and which location?

I can tell you for the Atlanta division you pretty much need an MBA from emory/duke/unc/vandy to even be looked at.

Truth be told, KSA cums over the thought of emory.

So, H/S isn't going to cut it?
