The latter. Was a mistake. Got out quickly!

I now work in growth analytics for a large tech company
Was familiar, but turned out much different than research
Never read a more accurate statement.
For undergrads I’d say we were all suckered in. None of us even know what working meant. Now look at us 🙇🏻♂️
For MBA that’s on them haha.

I didn’t know this type of career even existed until about 7 years ago. I’m in my early 40’s.

Had little idea what it was. Deloitte and IBM were the biggest recruiters out of our program. Had no idea what MBB was. I applied to one firm (and industry for all other apps) and got in.
Turns out I was lucky. Deloitte is one of the bigger/better firms in public sector consulting, especially with a robust data science practice (the others being Accenture, Booz, and IBM). So going to MBB wouldn't have made sense and FB's obsession with it didn't matter.

Got recruited into because it pays better than the other offer. The office (boutique firm) on a high rise in downtown with ocean view in some conference rooms sold it too. I didn’t even know what consulting or what the company does when I accepted it.
Recruited into... I did know about people going into firms like Deloitte and EY had no clue the amount of prestige MBB were ( had a handful of friends go there) but ultimately didn’t know anything about billable hours and the structure to get on projects, implementation work etc.
Now almost everyone I know works in consulting and it’s really hard to get out of the bubble ( trying lol)

Accepted an audit position with Deloitte, then heard about my friend's offer in consulting with Deloitte.
Started practicing case studies and applying for consulting jobs the next day and reneged with Deloitte right after my offer.
I was a software dev then saw a job for cyber security consulting. How cool! I never got to chance to learn cyber security in college, maybe they’ll let me learn on the job and get paid!
Wow! They hired me! I have no idea who Deloitte is but this seems awesome! I can’t wait to learn about hacking and preventing hacking. So cool!
Oh I just install software and configure it and with each passing day I remember less and less about software development making it harder and harder to go back into a software dev career..........
Recruited into consulting bc everyone consulting firm / b-school raved about consulting. 1.5 years in, I’m ready to leave.
Hi bulldog
Had some idea but never aimed for it. If I did and knowing what I know now, would’ve went to a better MBA program (not even t50 🤦♂️) as such now an industry hire in mgt consulting but likely can never go into strategy or MBB even if I wanted to
I wasn't recruited, and had no idea what I was getting into coming out of undergrad. I'm thankful, has been the perfect fit for me. Have always joked that consulting taught the pace and work ethic successfully since we didn't know any better.
