By strategy consulting I mean a Tier 1(MBB) or Tier 2 (Deloitte, Strategy&, Oliver Wyman etc. ). I guess the answer would be that it is somehow possible but I would like to know how likely it is to get an interview. Perhaps these companies would prefere someone directly from the university.

Hi Anonymous,
that’s definitely possible, however it is not the linear path that normally brings you to strategy consulting, unless a strategy company is looking by chance to expand specifically in risk management. Strategy companies indeed usually prefer people coming from (i) universities directly; (ii) strategy roles in big brands; (iii) other strategy consulting companies.
In order to have a good chance to be invited you would have to consider one of the following options:
In case that doesn’t work, you may also consider doing an MBA first; this will take more time and money but could increase your chances significantly.
Best,
Francesco
