In Reply To: Hi, I will be graduating with an economics degree in about a year (bachelors). For this summer I am a business manager for a b2c dot com that I initiated myself. I would like to get into a pre-IPO high potential B2B upon graduation, how do I? Also, is it just better to do some strategy consulting instead at bcg, mckinsey, etc in their e-commerce departments to build contacts and then move smaller down once I have gained sufficient experience. Any and all advice is appreciated.
Message: You should stick to trying to enter into consulting to get some worthwhile business experience. It is too risky to just head off into a net company straight out of college.
