Hi,
Thanks for the input. I am curretly a project leader for a decision support system. In the current position apart from supporting the project, I do lot of data evaluation both external and that available within the company to see if we can give any more information to the sales analysts to help them gain better insight into the market forces. I have a lot of coding background though. Do you think I can get into information strategy consulting with this kind of background? Any input will be highly appreciated.
Thanks |

If you get a top 10 MBA, these are the firms that would be interested in you:
Big 5
Cap Gemini
IBM Global Services
EDS
Diamond Technology Partners
Cambridge Technology Partners
technical practice at Booz, Allen, & Hamilton
You might also be able to snag an interview at McKinsey in the BTO group, which is the IT practice there.
Due to your technical background, you may face hurdles at general consultancies like Bain and BCG.
"Strategy" is a fuzzy word, which means different things to different firms. By "information strategy", I assume you mean advising a CIO how to manage his/her organization. With a strong MBA, I think you would be able to do this kind of consulting.
