I am currently working on my MBA and would like to be able to leverage my Industry Analysis research from my courses to later benefit me in my career. As an IT consultant at BCG or Deloitte or some other major consulting firm, what industry would benefit me the most to research? Studying the MSP industry, or some other tech industry?

Oddly phrased question. A question to you is what industries excite you?

D1 I love researching emerging tech, learning the newest tech trends, designing new solutions, automating complex tasks.
As far as specific Industries… logistics always seems to beckon me as does anything with data analysis and or pattern / trend detection.

Anything that excites you is a good industry.

Most of the firms you named divide their services into certain sectors(i.e. FS, TMT, CNR, HIA, ENR, Industrial Products, etc. ). You can be aligned to one industry of your choice but initially it's sort of a soft tagging.
So pick one industry and try to build a good knowledge of that particular sector and you are good to GO

Hi everyone, I am 4.9 years experienced , I joined Fractal 3 months ago as a data engineer, but still haven't got any project. Process is so slow that I have received only 4 to 5 project calls. I switched in hopes that will learn the new tech and tools. But now i am starting to forget even the one i knew. Should i go for change or wait a little more time as fractal is reputed in AI/ML? I have interview lined up with Impetus as for now. Would it be better choice?

Tata Consultancy Hi fishies, I recently interviewed for a Big data dev role for Autodesk but it's via a third party called Applicantz. Initially the contract is for 1 year, which can be extended. There is also scope of Autodesk hiring permanently after 6 months or 1 year. Can anyone provide some reviews about Autodesk and third party Applicantz. Usually I would not have considered anything via a third party, but the company(Autodesk) seems great and work discussed seems good as well.
