Hi. I have just got a job offer from a small growing management consulting firm based in NYC. The job is very interesting and very "hands on", and money is pretty good as well ( better then top 10 average). There is just one problem: the company is not famous. In 2/3 years what will be the difference between me and my collegues working in McKinsey? Thank you

I'm a Psychology major that is looking to get into either management consulting or I/O Psychology. Is there a difference between the two? Personal tips, experience, etc. are very helpful! Unfortunarely, I do not have any experience in this field yet. Does my Psychology degree give me a good chance at landing a job in a consulting firm? What else is needed in order to prepare for such a career? Thanks!

I am a grad student and spent the entire year in Turkey. I took on a management consulting job that payed 'under the table' and I am wondering what my obligation is to the IRS (the position didn't pay well, just enough to keep me afloat). Thanks for your advice, I am having a time trying to solve this puzzle. I am sure your answer will be of great help to others in my position.

I graduated Summa c*m Laude from a small school and scored a 730 on the GMAT, but I can't seem to get a first round interview with management consulting firms because I am not in their recruiting pipeline. Are my online applications a waste of time? Is there anything else I can do?

I got my bachelor's in entrepreneurship and I know I have some really creative and new business ideas that would be successful. But is there a job for that? I can't finance them myself because I'm only 23. I've considered management consulting but is there something else for my specific niche? How do I get my talent in this area out there? Thanks.

Preferably involving marketing or finance or statistics and not design. I know this is really specific, but I want some kind of job involving international travel and working for a fashion magazine or designer. I am really good at math and business, and would prefer to do some sort of management consulting but don't exactly know how to get started. Any advice/suggestions/ideas?

I have a ton of project management/consulting experience, but I think I'm being overlooked for a number of positions because hardly anyone recognizes the companies I've worked for. Any suggestions on how to best overcome this?

My wife has a B.S. degree in Operations and Logistics...an MBA in M.I.S. And she is PMI-certified as a project manager, has ITIL certification, and some Six Sigma experience...no certification. She enjoys strategy creation and implementation tasks and roles and gets a little bit of those types of experiences in her current role. But, mainly she is a project manager and program manager. How can she get a strategy job in corporate america? She wants to do more of what she feels passionate about and less of the administrative/repetitive tasks. We live in the Chicago Northwest suburbs. Oh...she also wants work/life balance since we have kids. So it would seem that management consulting with the big agencies would not be an option since they seem to work constantly.

I spent four years in the military after high school and then went to college at a local state school. It's not that I couldn't handle a top-tier private university, but since tuition is free to veterans in my state, I just couldn't justify spending $100,000+ on school... plus I still wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with my life. I am now poised to graduate in May with a degree in economics and a minor in management. I have a 3.9 overall GPA and am a member of two national honor societies. I've decided that I'd really like to get into management consulting when I graduate, but I've found that most of the major players in the industry are recruiting out of Wharton, Harvard, Tuck, etc. Is trying to find a good job in consulting a fool’s errand for me because of my academic pedigree or do I have a shot?

I got a job offer from a small but interesting management consulting firm in New York. I am sure I will get a lot of good experience in the company and money is pretty good as well. My only fear is that I might have problems when I want to apply for a top MBA program in 2/3 years. What do you think?
