Which are the top Consulting companies that come to hire on the IIM campus? How many roles do they offer at these campuses? What is the difference between working with McKinsey or BCG, and working with PwC or Deloitte? Which Consulting firms should you work with for a decent work life balance? In this video, an actual management consultant explains the five major clusters of management consulting companies that come to hire on India's top IIM campuses. He explains the pros and cons of working with companies across each cluster, and also talks about how many MBA students these firms are likely to hire during the final placement season.
If you want to get an honest, fact-based understanding of the world of Consulting, this is a video series you cannot miss!


Crisp suits, meetings with CXOs, travelling, big paychecks, and a steep learning curve are all the things that come to mind when you hear the word 'Consulting'. It is one of the most glamorous and desired jobs in the corporate world, and one of the highest paying as well. That would explain why a career in Consulting is the top pick for MBA students at India's leading IIMs and other business schools. The world of Consulting is as enigmatic as it is glamorous. What does a Consultant really do? How much do Consultants make in a year? Which Consulting firms are the best to work with? What is the work life balance in a Consultant's life? Which b-schools do McKinsey, BCG, and Bain (MBB) hire from, and in what numbers?

To answer these questions and go beyond a superficial understanding of the Consulting domain/industry, you need to hear from someone who has been in the thick of it - an actual management consultant. This is why we bring to you Akshaykumar Sirsalewala who is an IIM Kozhikode alumnus currently employed with one of the giants of the Consulting industry!
Through a series of weekly videos, Akshay will explain everything that you need to know about the reality of careers in Consulting. He will talk about how you can build a CV for a Consulting job, how to prepare for Consulting interviews, and will also bring to you real Consulting interview experiences. That's not all: these video series will also go in-depth into other desirable careers as well!
