I am an MBA graduate (tier 1 B school) who joined as an Management consultant in Finance consulting role. My team is full of IT folks (with experience in Finance softwares with 6 years+ work experience). I dnt see the reason why they should hire an MBA graduate if they already have IT folks. What value add can an MBA guy bring?

With lot of IT folks in the same line of service, as competition, do you think Finance/IT consulting would be a good career option for an MBA graduate?

Thoughts please!

Are you part of tech consulting or management consulting? Since finance strategy usually has people from prior consulting or MBA (most likely)

What kind of projects do you work on?

Management consulting. I work on setting up SSC/GBS, doing finance maturity assessment, location and site selection, vendor assessment. I dnt work on IT implementation but work closing with aspects such as process improvements, benchmarking etc.

Understood, so what's your concern?
Seems fair since most consulting - finance teams work in similar areas.
Are you concerned with increased # of IT folks in your team?
Do you know if you have the same growth/career path as those with higher experience?
Tbh, if you've a clear path to growth, it shouldn't concern you.
