What is the best advice for a sophomore hoping to become a management consultant??

I have always wanted to go into consulting, and so I joined a few business clubs on campus, and have researched different firms. I am not sure where to go from here though. If you were a sophomore in college wanting to go into the field, where would you go from here? Is it important to specifically choose one field of consulting, or should I keep it more broad? How do I know which skills they will be looking for in interviews?

Is getting MBA post-grad worth it? Bentley University

I am currently a consulting intern at a Big 4 company and was wondering if getting my MBA degree soon after my Bachelors degree is worth it? I have spoken with so many successful professionals in the firm without one and do not see the ROI being so high. I am currently on an accelerated MBA at Bentley University and have up to five years to finish my MBA after graduating, but not sure if the costs is worth it if I want to stick with consutling.

What are the best ways to prepare for interviews with top-tier management consulting firms?

McKinsey, Bain, BCG, mainly. Looking for both prep tips on the "case" questions, those puzzlers like "How many shaving razors are sold in the U.S. every year," and any personality "fit" questions. If there are any books or web resources, all the better. #interviews #consulting #mckinsey #bain #bcg
