Hello!
I am 23 and currently studying marketing in my masters in Vienna (globally ranked #12). I did international business administration with french as my second foreign language (majors: international business consulting, digital marketing) in my BSc. with an Austrian GPA of 2.08 at the WU Vienna University of Business and Economics.
I have also done some marketing jobs (2x social media, 1x marketing manager) in the past 2,5 years next to my studies either part time or as a working student (mostly in tech) and one summer internship as a market research analyst (chemical industry).
I would like to switch from marketing to consulting, but i feel like my profile/background is not good enough and now I am unsure if i should just finish my marketing masters (I'm in my first semester), do my second semester abroad either in the US or in Shanghai and then try to land a consulting job (doesn't have to be at MBB at first, maybe later on) or quit my masters, try to write the GRE and go to a renowned private uni in Europe to get a strategy or management masters.
I also started, independet from my studies, with the Google Certificate: Data Analytics. I am working with data a lot in my masters but i feel like the way my university delivers the content, I do not quite understand it fully and I also wanted to boost my CV a bit and just learn something new and see if I am having fun with data analytics in general.
Question:
1. is it realistic to switch from marketing to consulting with a marketing masters & my work experience?
2. If I decided to quit - how important is the name and prestige of the university where i should pursue my masters?
Thanks a lot!!
