Consulting careers: How to get in & grow

Consulting is one of the most misunderstood careers, people either idealise it or don't know how to break in. In this session we'll cover:

→ What consulting actually looks like day-to-day (the unglamorous parts too)

→ How to position yourself for Big 4 vs MBB - they're looking for different things

→ Breaking in from India vs from a foreign university - how the path differs

→ What EY's hiring process looks like from the inside - interviews, assessment centres, the works

→ How to grow once you're in - what gets people promoted and what stalls careers

→ Strategy and analytics specialisations - where consulting is heading and where the opportunities are

→ When to stay and when to leave consulting

I spent 5+ years at EY Singapore, worked across 20+ clients in Southeast Asia, and interned at McKinsey. I'll give you a real picture and not a recruitment brochure.

Come with: your background, where you are in your consulting journey, and your specific questions.
