Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply to Simon-Kucher in Milan for the Associate Consultant position.
Before applying, I’d like to understand a few things:
- Should I focus more on pricing cases than the other “types” of cases?
- I’ve been working as a Project Manager in Renewables for 2.5 years and I’m completing an EDHEC MSc in Finance. How would they decide where to place me? Should I state my preferences?
- Do you think it’s possible to negotiate salary even if this would be my first real experience in consulting?
- How is the work-life balance in SK?
Final question: if I wanted to move from Simon-Kucher to an MBB firm in a few years, would that be feasible? For example, I see that a Manager at Simon-Kucher can look closer to a Consultant level at MBB, does that come across as a downgrade from a title/role perspective?
Also, do you know where I can find solid pricing cases to focus on before the first round?
Best,
D.
