MBA对于进咨询公司起多大的作用？

endless_tao

哪位DX介绍一下，MBA进入咨询公司后，起初的主要工作内容大概是什么？谢谢！

只要能进去，剩下的事情真的要看本事了。

呵呵，我也是站在那个数羊人的肩膀上，很多东西是建立在数羊人观点上自己瞎琢磨的。

很少来北美区，一般在亚洲和另外一个区那看看热闹。碰到了一些拿了美国录取将来有大好前程的人，感觉除了我考试一定很失败以外不会输给他们，但可能以后的生活就差别很大。所以来这里看看大多数去美国的大牛们是什么样子。

pizi兄的观点确实有道理。

但是难道这就是咨询公司的全部吗？

As an entry-level associate, you'll probably spend 70% of the time problem solving and 30% of the time managing the relationship with the client contact you work day to day.

In terms of the studies, I'd say 50% of them are really difficult questions that client cannot solve on their own.  On these issues, consultants bring in a fresh perspective, structure approach and rigorous analytics.  You push your own knowledge building on such issues while solving the problem for the client.  

Another 50% of time I see issues that clients could probably solve on their own, but elected to source consulting firms for reasons like need an objective, third party view, avoid the internal politics, or simply laziness.  Not everyone in corporate America could work till midnight like consultants do.

Talking about the day to day work, well, you interview clients, industry experts, analyze data (a lot!) in Excel or Access, and produce powerpoint pages.

很少见到这么详细的介绍，迅速地顶上去！

——现在的帖子太多，一不小心就坠到第二页了，可惜了这么好的帖子。

咨询公司不会真的是这样虚吧？那就太失望了

I just talked to someone who was a consultant before AND after her MBA and she happened to mention this.

Before MBA, her job was more isolated.  She had to work with the project manager and team lead.  After MBA (first of all, her salary doubled) and she immediately got a lot more responsibilities and exposures.  She was expected to have an opinion on issues and interact with customers directly.  She also had a lot more influence on where the project is going and decisions along the way.

Hope that helps!

Yes, you will get some chances to knock on the doors to consulting, but the interview must go well. Depend on you performance in the interview.  

那还用说吗？interview
