[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Management consulting, 85K (first year out of college)[/quote]

just a innocuous question but how can someone just out of college do  "management" consulting?  What can they be consulting about?  Seriously, that must just be a title masking some other duties.[/quote]

Management consulting firms (McKinsey, Booz, etc) definitely hire direct from college, and [b]they train them in the ways of their firms. So, it’s not like the undergrad knows anything about business but the firm teaches them their workflow and processes[/b], which is half the battle for that kind of job.

Also, to the poster who called BS, huge eye roll. I am a different poster but know several people from my own class (2006) who went this route and I graduated from a school ranked in the 60s. So yeah, it happens. And 85k can easily be close to the starting salary at a top tier one. [/quote]

Thanks, that's what I was wondering about - not the salary.[/quote]

My sister did this for an above named firm upon graduation from an Ivy. Her job entailed traveling to middling cities and putting together power point presentations for her bosses. She absolutely hated it and quit shortly after the one year mark. She was making 80k with bonus potential.[/quote]
