Do you see yourself in PE long term?
Wow. McKinsey, which has the biggest public sector presence of the MBB, really hasn't been doing too hot at all in the sector.
Its presence is tiny and it's gotten even smaller. Meanwhile it's bungling whatever opportunities it's getting.

What’s the difference between BA and consulting?
It’s a really tough transition to make without a PhD or MBA. You’ll have good quant skills, but it’ll be very difficult to demonstrate the client management, communication, and conceptual framing abilities you need based on engineering experience.

Agree with BCG above. I was an engineer, got my MBA, now at McK.
I don’t know if MBB does much advising on structural engineering, so I doubt there would be a need on the expert side?
Hi OP I see many people coming from engineering background to consulting field, even heard a professional piano player became a BCG consultant, so as ppl who studied law, ecology, politics....There is no saying that getting a MBA will increase your chance. The most fundamental skills for a consultant is systematic thinking, analytical skills, team working, problem solving, being able to ask the right question to get the answer, very similar to doing academic research, but those skills are not explicitly highlighted at colleges. I would suggest you to go ahead, starting from reaching out to ppl there, joining the company event
An MBA at a target school will definitely improve chances. Employers are courting students at the right schools vs blindly networking into the abyss.
