They place a good number of mba grads into consulting. For the cost it’s a great program

like

Consulting at local firms primarily. PwC hires one or two every year.

Deloitte Atlanta office hires there as well

If you’re already Advisory at KPMG you won’t gain anything.

Why not p2?

Look at who recruits from the program and post cohort salaries. Given two years employment, you’ll create the same opportunities if you’re driven. If you’re not driven, the MBA won’t help.

Do you plan on staying in consulting?

I’m actually not in consulting. I work internally for Kpmg so idk if that changes anything

In that case, it’d prob be worth it if you want to break into consulting. I think 40% of their grads go into consulting

It does. Go for it.

Go for it

So worth it even though it’s not top 20?

If you get into somewhere better, go. If you can get yourself rehired with a pay bump, go.

What’s up my consulting fishes!! Manager at Accenture, and really enjoy the HC, Org Analytics, CM, Org Design side of things.

I’d like to continue building my skillset here and venture into product development to facilitate strat consulting for the areas above (sorry for the buzzwords).

In this case, is an MBA required to succeed or progress to the MD, partner, C Suite level? Or should I grind my way through the industry given my interests are so pointed?

Would love a convo and/or guidance.

I was a month in as Workday HCM Consultant with Accenture. They immediately throw me into the HCM courses to obtain my WD HCM certification. There are three parts HCM Essentials, HCM Applied, and HCM Practical. The passing score is 70 or above. I scored a 62 on the Essentials portion, I passed Applied, and at the end of this week Practical. During class, I received an “immediate connect” Team call and I was fired because of my low score. I'm devastated, and shocked. Yesterday was my birthday.

Is it a horrible idea to tell my dates my work schedule is less busy than it actually is? Every guy I talk to ghosts me after I tell them my weekdays are generally hectic and unpredictable as deals can materialize suddenly in my line of work and I’d prefer making plans on weekends only for starters. I just don’t want to make plans and cancel on the guy, but this honesty is somehow getting interpreted as being too career focused / not ready to date. Make 🐠, is this a turn off for you?

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
