Hey, I'm a final year student who'll be joining a tier 2 CRM Consulting firm. I really aspire to work/ maybe live a life that a consultant does. Haven't had much clarity before getting placed but now I really want to learn and grow, all I can think of is becoming a part of MBB, Big 4 too. Don't have good enough internship experience not even amazing grades in college and high school. But I'm dedicated to work hard & smart to reach my goal;get into good B school & then land a job as a Consultant.

Please if you have any advice on what skills I must develop, learn or a path to guide me through. PLEASE HELP.

Work on skills for initial 1-2 years, should be easy to switch to any MBB or B4

Communication, interpersonal and client management. Negotiation would be bonus. Soft skills are in demand. If you are into technology then CRM firm is a good stepping stone as big 4 and MBB use salesforce platform and ServiceNow platform.
