I'm just really curious about my application status. my case was, they just say. they want to proceed me. and the feedback was good. they have openings overseas and asked if i was ok. and i rejected it. so she said to keep in touch with me. so i waited and then i approached her instead. she replied with an opening. so i dont know how to answer your question. but i would say, its a no in my case, unless you approach your recruiter. rejection would mean you need to wait 2 years.

what specific stream of management consulting you interested in?..their strategy is hard to go in..and usually for management, they will go overseas and recruit students to come back.

QUOTE(Ms.Misao @ Sep 12 2011, 12:00 AM) Hi i'm interested in joining a strategy/management consultancy firm. But from the posts i've read, it seems that it is nearly almost impossible for a fresh grad to enter companies like Bain, Mckinsey & BCG. Nonsense. Don't let the brand name of your school dictate which firm you could or couldn't work for. So how about Roland Berger and Accenture? Which one do i stand a better chance of getting into? I'm a fresh grad from Monash with a degree in Business & Commerce (International Business & Management major). The reason why many firms have target schools is mainly because of 2 things. Costs and familiarity. If your school churns out a big number of high calibre students a year and if your school is located close to an office, it makes sense from a financial point of view to recruit there. Secondly, because of past recruiting cycles, the people who are already working in the firm would prefer to go back to their alma mater to recruit, familiarity and ties matter. Will talk about it later. It represents a substantial cost and sometimes sunk cost to the firm if it tries a new school without knowing the result. Manchester Business School is really a good school, it should be on par if not better than Imperial and Cass but because it's in Manchester, it doesn't get the share as those London schools. Why would any firm based in London go to Manchester to recruit when there are Cass, LBS, LSE, Imperial and other UOL colleges to recruit from? if those guys from MBS wanna work for us, let them apply on their own. The only advantage that the guys in the target schools have is that they can network and make a good first impression. However, not many do it or know how to leverage it to their advantage. Of course, grades are important, but they are not everything. Landing a consulting job is difficult but not impossible. The levers which one must balance well to get an offer can be summarised to just 4. Networking, Passion in whatever you do, Fit and Case interviews. IMO, networking is the most important, for if one doesn't have it, one is likely going to be just a number even though if one is a good fit and excels in case interviews. QUOTE(adrianwtx90 @ Sep 14 2011, 05:15 PM) my case was, they just say. they want to proceed me. and the feedback was good. they have openings overseas and asked if i was ok. and i rejected it. so she said to keep in touch with me. so i waited and then i approached her instead. she replied with an opening. so i dont know how to answer your question. but i would say, its a no in my case, unless you approach your recruiter. rejection would mean you need to wait 2 years. KIV. like setengah jalan lo. You do know that travelling is an inherent part of the job. You could at times be based overseas for 6 months or a year. So if you want to be close to home, consulting probably is not the best career choice.Added on September 14, 2011, 5:24 pmthey hire by truck loads for technology and SI consulting. dont worry. lol. Management harder la. haha Management is harder because of the cases. With enough practice, it won't be hard. |

Well this is nostalgic. Stumbled upon this post again when i was googling for something.
And yes it's true that you do have a chance to join management consulting even if you're not from Ivy league. I ended up joining as a fresh grad and im still here to this day. Just be prepared to be resilient. Things do get tough and attrition rates can get pretty scary as most people can't handle the pressure. I can easily say 80-90% of people from my batch are gone. Good learning curve though. |

QUOTE(Manada @ Feb 11 2019, 08:00 PM) Have you applied? CV must be good yo, at least CGPA 3.3 and lots or leadership and extra co-curricular activities. I did the pymetric test. My next move is the digital interview so I hope someone can enlighten me regarding the questions asked. So far, I haven't receive any calls tho.After the resume screening, there will be a phone screening, then video interview (self recorded). This is only for internship program |
