In Reply To: Just wanted to ask whether anyone had any advice on the following... I am currently working in Financial Management for a Top FMCG Company in the UK (2.5yrs) where I have been consistently rated in the top tier amongst my peers. I want to move into Consulting but am concerned that my high school qualifications may hold me back. I do not have an 'A' average but I have a strong Masters in Engineering and have consistently proved myself within University and Work in spite of some adverse circumstances. What would be the most realistic Company I could hope to work for within this industry with my background? I understand that BAH, McK, BCG, Bain...etc. only look at those with impeccable Academic quals, but is there any chance? I'd be extremely grateful for any advice.
Message: Umm, high school? Don't even bother listing it and you solve your problem.
