I have done research and talked to a whole bunch of people who are in the industry and after months of introspection and research have decided that Strategy consulting is "it" for me.
But after having applied to top consulting firms, I haven't received no reply except the automatic "Thank you for applying emails".
I have a Masters in Electrical Engg. and have been involved in the networking sector. Like all engineers I have good analytical skills and can handle work-stress and long hours pretty good.
Now my question is how do I break into strategy field?
I have fished out the names of Recruiters at BCG et al. Should I cold-call them?
P.S. I am reading up on Porter's Competitive Strategy. Quite interesting. |

hi felllow engineer,
please look at the posting
'engineers go back to engineering' for my personal experience trying to get a job in consulting.
you have an advanced degree and should be better off though.
i would look for firms that have lots of engineers as clients or consulting engineering firms.
best of luck.
