Vault guides are popular with MBA folks for understanding different careers. You can also go to
and find relevant career information on Management Consulting and five finance career tracks (Investment Banking, Sales & Trading, Risk management, Operations, Private Wealth Management). Good luck!
After digging through these forums for a while now there doesn't seem to be any sort of basic guide to what the options are available to MBA grads. Basically what I was looking for would be something like the below form:
Job type (ex Management Consunting)
Short description of responsibilities.
Expected hours (ex 60-80 per week)
Pay range
Program requirement (ex if the job requires attending a top 10 program or if they recruit from a larger range of programs.)
Other pertinent information (ex link to a more detailed thread)
I know that a lot of this information already exists somewhere on these forums but most of it is either scattered or old. Some background on me: I just took the GMAT for the first time about and did better than I expected with very little studying and no practice tests. I was originally only planning to apply for a local part time program and keep working but now I think I want to look at full time programs.
