Topic Name: Break into Consulting - Advice Pls
Message Name: Need Advice

Message: My education consists of a BSEE and an MBA. I started my career with a major telecommunications company. I never really felt challenged there and rotated through several engineering and marketing divisions. After five years, I joined a small start-company last year, mainly to fulfill my need for greater responsibility and challenge. Unfortunately, this small company fell victim to private equity funding issues recently and closed shop. I am intrigued with consulting even though I have had little exposure to consultants and I know very little about the various opportunities in this field. But I feel that consulting is an excellent match for my personality type and interests. I think consulting would be a great career transition for me, but I really don't know where to start. I would appreciate any advice, suggestions, contacts, etc... THANKS!!
