I know that in consulting firm such as Accenture has a simple ranking of its employee, from analyst to consultant to...blah blah...
How is the career prospect in consulting firm? When you say you are a 'consultant', then you are suppose to be someone that has a lot of experience in a particular field, right? Since fresh grad does not have any experience, how do they consult? Even working for 2 years on consulting field, I doubt that a person have sufficient knowledge giving advice for companies.
Is anyone work in consulting as fresh grad? Did you learn a lot?

Feyman, Ya. My friends say they learn lots of stuff during intern in Accenture.
If possible, may I know your background?
I am not afraid of hard work and would like to expose to more aspect of economy. Does working in consulting firm train my business sense?
What do you mean by half life(I only know half life in science context)?
Except BCG, Mckinsy those big firms, are there any more strategic/management/business consulting firm around Malaysia and Singapore? I heard PWC is more into accounting, but they do have management consultant?

QUOTE(adrianwtx90 @ Aug 9 2011, 12:57 PM) im currently in a niche management consulting firm..and we do focus on transformation and turnaround..im a fresh grad..in a management consulting firm..you are indeed not an expert in the industry of your clients..at best, you would only be at the level of understanding how the industry works through research and also insights from the industry player.. as a consultant, i might say, you are indeed an expert in strategy, planning, transformation, performance etc..your knowledge and value is not measured on how well you know your industry of the clients..management consultants involve themselves in various industries. we cant possibly be good in all of them..but we sure can be good in the ability for us to bring forward a proper strategy in tackling the issues at hand by using management models and strategies.. Added on August 9, 2011, 12:59 pmand f*** yeah..i did learn alot..its very valuable and it can be widely applied in any industry..because what you develop and learn is the general approach and methodology that can be 'transferable' to other industry and would be useful in a company as well.. Thank you for proving the info.

Half-life for firms would mean people. 2-3 years means 50% of people who have started with you will leave 2-3 after working in that firm. Yes there are. You just have to do your homework. PWC has a consulting division. Main business is auditing of course. It is normal for ppl to work in a firm for 2-3 years? or they just gain exp and go somewhere else?

Those big 4 will mostly only give chances to Ivy league, Oxbridge students....even from a good university only have chance for interview, not guarantee hire.

I see. Is a MBA important for a consulting job?
