Hi,

It depends on whether you are planning to get an MBA later or not. If not, then it helps if you've shown some growth in your current job before you apply. e.g., received a promotion or worked on a critical project. Obviously, it doesen't hurt if your company has great brand value.

If the company you're working for does not have a very established brand value, getting an MBA from a prestigious university can help strengthen the application

Thanks,

There is no true "consulting track", the firms (MBB especially) are largely hiring a potential more than an expertise. As long as you can demonstrate professional growth, this will be fine. A company brand name would be better though.

Obviously, many more parameters enter in the calculus of whether to grant you an interview or not - but I'll assume here you are already in good shape since these firms interviewed you previously.

Hi A,

Actually it depends on the image of the company, which role you will take there and which results (growth, promotion, leadership) you will show.

Wish you good luck,

André
