Oliver Wyman FS Questions
I have a couple questions concerning Oliver Wyman's FS. I know some of these have been addressed in earlier topics, but the responses seem to be pre-crisis and I was wondering if anything has changed since then. I would be joining their NYC office after finishing my undergrad this spring. If anyone...
Internship in Africa any good?
Hi, I've decided to try to get an internship for the summer of 2011 and I figured I'd start looking right now. I've been to Africa only once but I really liked it and would like to spend some more time there. I thought that getting an internship there over the summer would be the perfect way of...

Any insights on what LEK interviews are like? Number of rounds, types of cases (focus on market sizing, strat, tons of math?) What is behavioral like? What sort of candidates do they look for?

I am currently a senior in college double majoring in Economic Consulting and Entrepreneurship at a top 15 program. I have budgeted for four years of college (coming out after 2011 with no debt from school) but had to work AND take summer school all summer every summer to do so (switched majors...
Consulting Interview Math
This topic has been addressed many, many times, but always in scattered places. And I also get differing stories. So, I thought it might be best to start a thread in order to discuss peoples' experiences / perceptions of the math questions in MBB-type consulting interviews in one place . Some people...
Non-Target, Bad Work Experience, About to be a Junior...HELP!
Hi all, So basically, I have a huge interest in consulting, but I've really screwed myself over my first two years.

Consulting GPA requirements, as high as people say?
Hey all, I only started frequenting this website a short while ago so forgive me if this has been asked to death already. Is the rep that MBB /other "top" consulting firms have for mostly/only hiring undergrad applicants with relatively high GPAs (3.75+) accurate? I am a rising junior at a...

HF Research vs. MBB Consulting --> PE/HF
Hi, new to WSO here. I'm evaluating a jump to either to a HF research position (for a low-profile but sizable AUM HF) or a Pre-MBA consulting position (think MBB or 2nd tiers like Parthenon, OW FS, Booz, etc). I eventually would like to do PE / HF , with a preference at the moment for PE (including...

Consulting Firms That Are More Non-Target Friendly?
Hi, I was wondering if there are any (presumably) lower brand name consulting firms that are more open to people from non-targets applying there or hire a larger number of them relative to MBB ? Also, would these smaller consulting firms still be good enough to go to a top 10-15 MBA so that I can...

Need some advice from the PE monkeys here... I used to workd for a second tier Bank in M&A and went to do the MBA thing at a HSW school.

Rating Agency to BB or Boutique?
I'm interning at a rating agency for my second summer in a row, and even though I essentially have a FT offer, banking is much more appealing. Right out of undergrad (3.5, nontarget), it would seem stupid to just be working a 9-5 job. Any thoughts on how to make the jump? Mind you, though, that...
#&*$ I JUST DON'T KNOW
"Study what you're passionate about" "Do what you love, you will never be able to work long, hard hours in a field you don't like" "Don't worry about recruiting just yet, you're not a junior yet in college- just enjoy college" I hear this shit all the time, but it doesn't work for me. It's too trite...

Consulting or Boutique IB for SA prep?
So I'm a soph at a non-target and don't think I'll be able to land an SA position next summer at a BB .

Forum FAQs
I'm going to be honest and say I didn't really look through the forum before posting this, that said, this somewhat illustrates my point.

Consulting exit opps?
For firms that have a strict up or out policy, what do people do after they get asked to leave? What are some exit opportunities? I would assume any exit opportunity would be considerably worse than staying at the firm.
