I was a small business consultant and loved it! It was a government job with the Commerce Dept. Little travel, OK pay and lots of fun and autonomy. I got to use all I ever learned at McCombs -- business plans, marketing plans, budgets, loans, explaining the stochastic events their industry faced, etc...A classmate started at McK, worked there for 5 years and then was hired away as president of a steel pipe manufacturing company...This March, while on a stargazing vacation in Chile, I met a 70-year old consultant working for Hilton. (We were having lunch at the Santiago airport Hilton.) Three failed marriages kept him at the grindstone. He was in Chile hand-holding an investor and reviewing blue prints for a new hotel. I asked him about opportunities in Cuba, now that the country is opening up to western investment. Two words: Forget about it! Reason: Absolutely no infrastructure, period. As a consultant, you can have fun and learn "the rest of the story," even on vacation. Lesson learned: Work your @$$ off, travel a lot, learn a lot on someone else's dime. (You are being paid to learn!) Then, move on. Consulting should not be forever.

Need some advice from current and/or future consultants-

Background-
I am a technical engineer working a large, well known energy firm. I applied Round 2 last year (2018 marticulation) for bschool and got 3 dings. I am suspecting my "Why MBA?" reasoning is holding me back. My ultimate goal post MBA is to get out of my technically focused role and work on project with various industries to improve processes and focus on data analysis of business operations. I'm striving to get into consultancy. Let me know if you guys think this is valid reason to get an mba.

Gracious and with respect to length of a venture.it can fluctuate colossally. You may get staffed incidentally to an undertaking for multi month or two - possibly two weeks at times where they simply require a body.

You don't have to do or have research. However, if you decide to do something in consulting, I would at least get some clinical volunteer work going on or something. I doubt they look down on consulting, but they obviously want to see where your interest in medicine is derived from and some proof in your activities.
