What else can you tell me about Cambridge? MBA placements? Prospects for IB, Consulting, Private Equity? Is it highly regarded?
Thanks. |

Cambridge has a very good reputation, mostly for its consulting for Universities and Foundations. Consultants are hired based on past experience and almost all have MBA or higher degree. Its extremely rare to move from associate level to consultant level without going for MBA. I doubt it is a good place to be if you want to move directly into IB, without going for MBA. Some associates (1-4 years out of undergrad) have gone on to investment management firms as analysts. One advantage is that Cambridge seems to have a very good reputation with B schools, as many people have gone on to Tuck, HBS, Fuqua, Wharton, etc. Down side is no direct investment experience. Also, somewhat difficult to transfer groups and gain experience elsewhere in the firm.
