More On Consulting

Before I have the opportunity to go through the wetfeet guide for Management Consulting, I began to ask myself: Is management consulting the right career choice for me? Will I like it? How big the chance will be for me to get into the top consulting companies such as McKinsey, BCG and Bain, after my Ross MBA? Do I have all the skills or have the innate talents to do the consulting job?

I did the famous-in-MBA-arena careerleader assessment. The results showed that I'm most interested in creative production and Conseling & Mentoring. Management Consulting would be a moderately good match for me, rather than a Very Good match. As careerleader itself disclaims, it is for our reference ONLY. Whoever take the assessment should still know the confinement of the assessment, though It's a good tool, or arguablely the best assessment tool of its kind.

I know I will choose Management Consulting. I simply love it. As I know by myself and by the career leader assessment, I like intellectual challenge and variety. Consulting is the industry where I can work with the smartest people, meeting with new people as new project launchs, crack on diversified business problems. Plus, conceptual thinking and theory development, which are preferred in consulting work, are also of my interests.

I will do consulting for some years, but not for the rest of my life because of the long hour working stress and no decision making. But consulting will put me in a very good position to move to industry or to start up my own company! The experience will further shapen my smart brain, and bring me the inside information about certain industry, the practical advance business insight and of course network.This is called "Positioning", right? And I value it alot!

Ready for Consulting, Yes!
Investment banking? No! But I will learn more about finance during the upcoming two years MBA in Ross. I need that for my consulting job. Kaka!
