A few questions from a guy at a regular company (we do stuff, not tell people how to do stuff):
1. With only a year of non-consulting work experience, should I apply to firms as an experience professional, which I'm not, or a student, which I'm not?
2. Will I be considered on equal ground with students currently in school?
3. If I've only been at a job for a year, does it look like I'm not giving my present job a chance?
4. If I stuck it out in my job for 4-5 years, I'm confident I would become a junior manager. If I then earned an MBA from a good school, would I be considered on equal ground as my MBA peers with consulting experience?
5. On a side note: does anyone out there have an MPP/MBA, or even just an MPP. What are you doing?
Thanks in advance for your comments. |

I think it will depend on what industry you're in, what position you hold and exactly what you've done while there to determine whether you'd be considered "experienced" or not.
Most likely one year of work experience in a position that is NOT either investment banking or mgt consulting would not give you much of an edge at all.
Need more info to really comment though.
