    Hey! Is Mim from QMUL or Exeter worth it? I am from India, a science graduate who wants to get into consulting now and so I though MiM is the way...please tell me I am correct in thinking so and also! Should I try for Warwick (I will have to wait 6 months for that)

    Hey clouds! Does the EY Technology Risk area fall under the umbrella term of consulting?

    • @cloudsjoo
      @cloudsjoo  Před 2 lety

      I don't think so, I think that's a department outside of Consulting if I'm not mistaken! But I might be wrong

      Oof no my friend worked at ey tech risk and she did not like it. She said the campus recruiting team made the position sound like it was gonna be consulting but in ended up being basically IT audit type work

    Hey Clouds Is Exeter a Target School?
    I currently have an offer from Exeter for MSc Finance.
    I already have a Masters in Accounting and 2 yrs of work exp on the sell side as an analyst. Can I move to Consulting after my MSc at Exeter?

    • @cloudsjoo
      @cloudsjoo  Před 2 lety

      Hey Rohan! With 2 years of work experience I would say you could potentially move straight into consulting without doing a master's! Exeter is definitely a great school but might not elevate your current profile that much

      @CM_CM_ Před rokem

      @@cloudsjoo Thanks for replying and letting me know! Was it from an existing grad sheme? I just accepted an offer at a Big 4 but for a role I'm not super interested in. I applied for Tech Consulting but after passing the group interview they told me the cohort was full and I needed to pick another role :( I chose Data Analytics. I'm thinking about applying to other big 4s when grad schemes open again for Tech Consulting - would it be better to stick it out and try move internally or is it very unlikely to move into consulting this way? I've seen US centric answers suggesting it's unlikely but I don't know if that's also true for UK B4s. Will other B4s see this as too much of a red flag that I'm moving from one grad scheme to another - would it be a red flag at your company for example? I don't have anyone to talk to about this so I'm a little lost on what actions I can take to pivot into a carrer I want to be in :)

    Hi Claudia I have a question....
    Will a postgraduate in MSc Strategic Marketing and Consulting, Yes that's literally the program I applied to at the University of Birmingham,
    any good since I do not have no plans to do an MBA
    Thoughts???

    • @cloudsjoo
      @cloudsjoo  Před 2 lety +1

      Hello! I definitely think that you do not need an MBA to pursue consulting, and any kind of degree is accepted by the industry! If your specific Master's is directly aligned to consulting as it suggests by the name, that's definitely an advantage because you will be better prepared for interviews and the wider application process

    Madam please can you tell me the difference between management education and business management

    • @cloudsjoo
      @cloudsjoo  Před 2 lety +1

      management education sounds like it's related to teaching? Unless you just mean a typical management degree - in which case it is pretty much synonymous to a business management degree
