Or, is it just because those top consulting firms do not mainly hire European school graduates?

But you need to check the employment reports of the schools you're interested in to make sure. For example, at IE Business School, 23% of the Class of 2008 (the last year IE posted an employment report on its website) went into consulting. There's an impressive list of consultancies which recruit at IE, including Accenture, Booz & Co., Ernst & Young, etc. But the very top-tier consulting outfits, such as McKinsey & Co., Bain, and Boston Consulting Group, are not listed in IE's employment report.

Byrne Thu, 26 Aug 2010 02:18:11 +0000 http://poetsandquants.com/?p=1032#comment-393 If you want to use the MBA to move out of a position and transition into consulting I wouldn't recommend the EMBA. The reason: the major consulting firms aren't recruiting from those programs. So you would either have to already be in consulting, or have some sort of inside track, to use the EMBA for that purpose. I know it's tempting to go the EMBA route, because it's easier on your life. But there is no replacement for the incredible experience that a two-year, full-time program brings, despite the huge costs. Good luck.

I have been told that I may be able to apply to both the full-time or EMBA side. The EMBA would be a lot easier for me financially, but my primary goal is to transition from the military. Kellog's Miami program would be an incredible opportunity given the location ( I would be working there and would like to base my civilian career in the area work post-military). But I also understand schools do not want you to use the EMBA program as a career transition tool. I'd be very interested to get your thoughts on this. Thank you.

If you want to get into consulting you go to Stanford. It is the only school where EVERYONE can interview with McKinsey, Bain and BCG. There's also much less competition for the jobs because so many people in the small class simply don't want to do consulting. This is an awful study.
