Consulting Workshop Report - Guesstimates, Case Interviews And Konversations On Journeys

Workshops to Crack the CAT or other Entrance Exams and selecting a b-school are too myopic. Career decisions go beyond how much you score in your CAT or which b-school you select! It ends with selecting the right Career Path and Goal for yourself. And what's the point of cracking the CAT or getting into a b-school if you don't know which career is the best for you. In this series of Offline events, InsideIIM - Konversations aims to help you with making an informed career choice and to move past the RAT race! Consulting is one of the most coveted domains that majority of MBA Aspirants dream of getting into. But how do you know if it is right for you? Here's what we did to help a few MBA Aspirants to give a taste of the Consulting World. It was a bright sunny morning at the end of September when some MBA aspirants woke up to come to MISB Bocconi in Powai to attend the InsideIIM - Konversations Workshop on Consulting Careers.
