In Reply To: Thanks for the reply. I am considering to work for them full time next year as an entry level straight from college. I am looking to go to a good MBA program, and then get start a business or work for a strategy based consulting firm. Due to the economy right now, its very hard to get into these firms right now. Whats your take on all of this?
Message: Without knowing your alternatives, I would say go for the skillsets. Your at ground Zero now...having a PwC name and experience will help position you to a good MBA program and perhaps later Strat work. If you are looking to position yourself to get a good MBA, make sure you find a good mentor (usually you can find 2 - 1 formally assigned, and 1 informal mentor) - leverage your relationship and experiences with them to get you a good recommendation into the B-school of choice. Good luck
