Bain & Company Hi,
Any firms know if Karlsruhe institute of technology in Germany is a feeder school for any firms besides KPMG ? Looking at potentially pursuing a masters or PhD in CS there and curious what the exit opps are like. I’d most likely be working with solar energy and/or battery research since that’s their specialty and mine.
I know that Bain & Company, McKinsey & Company, and BCG are all historically very particular with which schools they hire from in the US… but EU?
In Germany, while there are some schools that are better known than others, the concept of „target schools“ is far weaker than in the US. I have so many colleagues that graduated from what would be the equivalent of community college- very small business schools or universities that I have never heard of before. It really doesn’t matter that much here and this is pretty much the same for all firms. It’s more important what you bring to the table personally than what name your university has 😊
Sounds lovely, however, academic performance is one of your three main parameters in letting people pass for further assessments.
Thus pretending a 1.X grade from a random applied science university to be equivalent to a leading full fledged university seems unrealistic to me. Especially when most of your employees are from such universities.
Just go to work and don’t bother with a PhD in computer science if you already have a masters and are good at your job just go get experience.
