Compared to MBA graduate hires, is "experienced hire" also flexible about industry background or roles? I have graduated from MBA and works in finance (sales & product function, not directly related to strategy). I have noticed that for experienced hires, on the job description consulting firms seems to prefer "candidates with consulting experience". Also, I have talked to a HR at a consulting firm, and he mentioned that he would only hire people with FMCG or automobile background. Do I still have a chance of getting interviews? Thanks for your thoughts!
