Starting today, InsideIIM will be bringing you a new section called MBA grad of the month. In this section, we will publish interviews of young B school graduates with really unique profiles who are blazing a trail in their chosen profession. We start with Prasid Sreeprakash of IIM Indore, Batch of 2011.
(Note: This article picks up the thread from an earlier post on Finance roles. The objective here is to drill down into the main types of finance roles and provide an overview of the responsibilities and of the specific preparation that is required for interviews/processes.)
Along with finance roles, consulting profiles are the most sought-after at top-tier B-schools mainly because of the fat pay-checks, the chance to work with great people and great brands, international exposure right at the internship stage and an almost sure-shot chance at a Pre-placement offer. So given below is a snapshot of the kind of profiles that are selected and the kind of preparation that is required to do well in a consulting selection process. This list may not be exhaustive but still covers the major aspects of cracking an internship opportunity with a consulting firm.
Here is an INDICATIVE list of what areas to look at while preparing for a finance role in your summer placements.
Whether the summer internship placement season is the most anticipated or most dreaded event of the first year is debatable; but very few will disagree that it is one which is most talked-about! Every year, as the process looms closer, hapless first-years fight to stay afloat in the sea of information that engulfs them. Let me try and list down the key things that one must keep in mind during the preparation phase to sail through.
