Do consulting recruiters know about the GMAT?

Yeah if it’s part of the application they consider it

Leading firms like MBB specifically ask for gmat score in their application. So I think it’s worth mentioning in your cv

Hi All,

I’m new to this bowl. My experience is in accounting but I’m looking to transition to defense sector consulting. My undergrad degree is in criminal justice and then went the business route for grad. I’m looking to get back to my roots. Does anyone here have experience in weighing Georgetown’s SSP program (or similar) versus an MBA?

TIA!

Any advice appreciated!

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
