The hardest part is to get in and not getting fired🤣

[sbtopjosh]

I haven't seen you in a while thrn suddenly you appeared on my Youtube Shorts. Was pleasantly surprised.

[kastellan]

Seems reasonable, I get tired of excel pretty fast!

That's a very good point! The only Big 4 I'd consider is Deloitte althought it doesn't have the MBB reputation but I do know they work on implementation a lot as well as the theory so it would help to an extent with exit opportunities.

Use consultancy for what it is
.. a great place to learn complex things with big clients that you wouldn't get in a normal job. As a senior leader in any company you will need to work min 55hrs a week. In the cruise, its longer and irregular. Do consultancy for 3 to 5 years then move on.

Seeing his right hand movement, I almost thought he was dancing LoL

I left MBB general consulting track because the salary was miserable when comparing to other opportunities in a developing country such as Brazil.
Growth tech and startups would pay more for 9-5 jobs and even having a faster career path (at least for the first 5-7 years).
IB would pay 3x+ consulting salary for a very similar amount of working hours.
Then I left for another MBB in Europe to work as a Data Scientist, where the salary gap to IB and Growth tech is not that big

So what are the typical exits from consulting? Especially if one has been in a senior role for a long time and lack specific hands-on industry experience.

[nikhilpachauri]

I think those reasons are applicable for any industry where one has to face clients or senior management

[MuneebAhmed-rkrp]

ok.. but we also need a video on why people like working at Mckinsey, Bain, BCG?

[shuaibbandeally]

Thanks...I like to solve problems and I was interested in consulting...but after watching this video I am no longer interested as I like both theory + practical..I like work life balance .. So consulting isn't for me...Are there any other career options similar to consultancy but without these drawbacks?

[rhynojosh]

I bet he pronounces Weimar correctly with a “V” though 😂

[endgamefond]

do consultant these days learn about mechine learning? I am wondering if yhe curiculum has changed

[joaocasimiro]

Hi! Does anyone know if MBB have limits of applications per year? Could I apply for McKinsey in 20 different countries in the same year?

Thank you in advance

[swithin]

Any undergrads with tier 2 buisness school get into McKinsey

[Meeksshallinherit]

I recommend working in boutique consulting firms which focus on specific areas

[mennatullahabdallah]

Does the same happen to data scientists at Mckinsey? Do they suffer long working hours?

[bo-ycvd]

*or more likely because they soon realize they are working for actual criminals and don't want to be involved into their shit*

[PathosConsultingGroup]

this accent was so thick it took me the first 5 seconds of the video to even process the idea that this was in English
