some P.S.:
1. I think the biggest difference is not if it is a contract or a permanent role (this is a big one of course, since $$ and job statilibty differes really a lot), but the rather the job nature. 誇張一點的例子是: 在morgan做清潔對career path有甚麼用? 現實一點的就是, 很可能是找到各類back office, suppoting division的工作. 這類岡位對career的幫助的確存在, 但是估計不符合原來的expectation. 我見過不少人問"how to jump from back to front office?"了, 結果其中一個常見答案是get a top MBA/MSF(if not US)......(kind of similar of "how to jump from big 4 to finance") [已工作幾年還得再讀書才有機會轉的話, 可見shift是不容易的......indeed switching company within same industry is way easier than switching division/role]
2. The reason behind is.......culture difference hurts even more in consulting than ibank.
they really need someone have a true understanding of the way of doing business (and culture) for the role, and thus it is very normal that consulting will stick more to the local people.
(I doubt it will be a problem, though a smaller one, within different country, e.g. a UK student go to a US consulting role interview, unless he/she is really very US.)
3. IB, consulting normally don't have strong preference on major. They want the smartest people, and then train them on the job. Of course this doesn't include technical division.
(not depends on major is something.....not really good indeed, as this means that everything US graduate will be able to compete with you)
Business (including finance) is something not to be learnt on book / lecture, but on the job instead. (i.e. they really want people with some internship, and like to prefer return offer route)
that's why there are few business major in UG, and even there are some, they will focus much on group projects and etc.
4. Ranking doesn't matter much. Only target school matters if one want to go for the graduate role of entry.
當然, 校招能進BB的競爭有多難大家都明白的.
5. "如果你是非要留美国的", simplest solution is go STEM. 我在思考的問題是, if someone have a soft background, 會不會去弄個math/stat/cs的2nd bachelor(I guess around 5-6 semester)比讀個business MS更穩妥一點呢?
P.S.
6. 真.大神是不會考慮非名校的. 不是因為ranking很有用, 是因為真.大神名校好專業隨便進.......
7. 真的想留在美國找到non technical的good role, 最需要的其實是各類的文化沉浸. 這種沉浸不是簡簡單單的如說多看美劇, 而是一種文化的融入, 和全面的思維習慣 - 說直接點就是世界观、人生观和价值观的問題.
別說兩年的master, 再加上四年的bachelor也隨時不夠用.
這正正是人家說美本很有優勢的原因, 也是某一小撮有錢人仕會考慮打孩子從小就去另一個環境受教育的原因. 畢竟, 中美(or 西方)之間的習慣和主流價值觀是有很大的分別的.
