Coming out of school I've been working in the IT decision support sphere (completely different that the operational applications work that people usually associate with IT professionals). I took two years off to earn my Masters in Infomation Science (similar to an MBA but with 50% of the course work devoted to IT management and related courses such as data management and global web business). In addition to my core finance and accounting course, I took both of my 2nd year electives in finance, having worked in financial service during my pre-grad school IT career.
My goal is to move into management consulting, specializing in BI and/or CRM (hopefully in financial services, but it doesn't have to be). I want to do real consulting, not the "consulting" that IT factories like EDS or Accenture do.
Any suggestions?

Our firm, Kanbay International, has recently merged with Adjoined Consulting. Kanbay has specialized in the financial services sphere, primarily with business intelligence and decision support applications. We're a North American based company, located in suburban Chicago, but approximately 75% of our staff were (prior to the merger) offshore resources. At least 1/4 of them have been doing work typical of ONshore resources, such as business analysis and project management.
The merger with Adjoined has brought in the IT strategy and project management component. Adjoined was one of the fastest growing IT and Management Consulting firms in North America. Now we can do end-to-end consulting, from soup to nuts. We're not one of those IT development factories such as Accenture or EDS (as you mentioned). We hire EXPERIENCED talent (unlike Accenture) and we respect that talent. We also offer training, which is something you will never find at Accenture.
Last month, Forbes Magazine named Kanbay as on the the 25 fastest growing technology companies (Google and E-bay are on that list, too).
