Hi all,
I will be attending the GEMBA European program at INSEAD this year. As part of due diligence, I am now evaluating what my options can be after the program. Since INSEAD is a powerhouse for consulting jobs, I want to give it a serious look. Your feedback is highly appreciated.
I have a Ph.D in engineering and 6 years of experience (all managerial) in research and product development at a leading chemical company here in Europe. I will be 38 when everything is finished and have no problem staying in Europe or going back to Asia. My questions are:
1. Do consultanting companies value the EMBA the same way as a full-time MBA? I know they do experienced hires, which I think I would probably qualify even without an MBA. Will an EMBA from INSEAD increase my chance in any way?
2. What level in a cosulting company should I realistically target at? Consultant? Associate?
3. Can my professional experience benefit the career in a consultant company in some way? For example, faster development into higher position and/or more responsibility?
4. What is my chance at top-tier firms or aiming lower makes more sense? And how about big, general ones vs. smaller but speciallized ones?
5. Other than those top tier consulting firms, I find inhouse consulting also interesting. However very scarce discussion here and on quora doesn't provide a clear picture, in terms of life style, development and pay etc. Can someone share more?
Thanks in advance
