Hello Everyone,

I've 3+ years of experience in Shipping industry and have pursued PGDM in Business Analytics prior to that.

Could anyone suggest how would one shift to consulting domain with out any prior experience. What all criteria one to fulfill to reach in a company like McKinsey or Kerney or Bain and be a consultant there?

You will have to find openings that ask for domain exp in travel or shipping etc in such consulting firms and that's the best way to get entry. But why target such high-end consulting firms with not so great profile like yours ( sorry to be telling the truth snd hurting your ego, but pgdm in analytics and shipping etc show you not sure what you want and probably from not so good college), go for big4 and other consulting firms.

Other options is to learn ERP and try to get into IT firms and slowly try to get into consulting firms.

smart

Thank you for the insight. It was indeed a great help.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
