Strategy Consulting or Implementations Consulting?

Question

I am a Masters student at WBS and previously I had found my own ventures and also had 1.5 years of work experience related to marketing and operations. In the long run I am planning to start my own business again, till then I want to work in a field in Management consulting (UK or GCC) which will help me to gain valuable expereince - ultimately helping in my long run plan. Previously I was thinking to apply in both but that seemed to an open fire plan with a very low rate of success in any field. So before moving ahead I would like to concrete by base.

What should I do?

Answer 1

Hi,

If your long-term goal is to become a founder, I’d strongly focus on Strategy Consulting. It gives you the sharpest problem-solving toolkit, the strongest CV signalling, and the broadest exposure to how CEOs/top level management think. You can always build operational depth later.

Best,

Answer 2

Strategy.

As a previous founder - you already know how to get things done :)
