Sorry !
Forget the numbers game - if you enjoy the work, the hours don't matter - as long as you're learning !!
PS - the consulting industry is the undisputed world champion at time mismanagement. If you get in, join the select few of us who are trying to change it ! |

Roseberry, I'm curious as to whether you see light at the end of the tunnel. Do you feel that mgt consulting (when done properly, earnestly) has a meaningful role in business or is the entire industry a dinosaur?
Also, regarding the industry's "sterile approach to recruiting," is this industry wide or are you speaking of specific firms? Would a liberal arts background (BA in Lit) guy like me have more success seeking employment in certain types of firms? I figure, like the engineer above, when I start applying there'll probably be something of the machine gun approach to my method, but I'd like to have a general direction if there are ways to clearly determine to whom I might be most appealing as a candidate. Once the interview starts it's anyone's game, but getting in the door without an obvious business pedigree, that may be another issue no?
