I know several very good healthcare consultants that were laids off from IBM along with thousands of others GBS practitioners within the last year.

Net: I would not be looking to start a consulting career with IBM.

..managerial consultant role. Not sure if I should start a career with an external consulting firm (b/c of training, exposure, etc) also would I be putting myself in a box starting with an internal consulting firm like KP so early on my career?

As an IBMer, I have had a great career here so far, but we had massive layoffs this year, and although mood is low here, it is getting better. New consultants here (right out of college) have a mixed experience here. Some have a great time and embrace the opportunities, others feels they don’t get the opportunities, so it is tough for them

That being said - there are some great opportunities here and you can go far with the right amount of effort

Go to a consulting firm to build up your core consulting skills then go into industry. As a side note, I know people who have worked at KP (full time and on projects) and they did not enjoy their experience or client counterparts...

As the owner, my focus is to help FAs succeed; as a firm, our focus is on client service and helping them succeed. I can afford a small salary, but not benefits. I'm especially interested in female FAs.
