Consulting Outside of MBB...how hard to get in, how good are exit ops?
Title basically says it. I'm at a non-target, so MBB is pretty much out unless I get very lucky or score some extreme contacts, so I was wondering how good some of the other firms are (such as Booze, Capgemini, AT Kearney, Deloitte, etc.) and how realistic they are from a non-target.

What do you guys think? I am having a hard time deciding between the two.
