[@daredevils5742]

@@yuvraj1971 it depends upon the company you are working. If in india not in a big company still your salary will be good. If you are working in some fortune companies then sky is your limit. You will rarely find any one who has interest in investment banking. Most of investment banker comes to this field to earn high salary.

[@InsiderGyaan]

No it is not. Consults do hire from the IITs and then you can grow up the ladder. But if you haven't made it directly from campus while graduating, then chances would be lower I would say

Hey, I still dont understand why ppl run after ib/consulting especially when I have seen majority ppl quit after 2 years. I am going into one of holy Trinity this year but wanted to get into big firms like flipkart, ABG, amazon, mondelez. But seeing that these investment banks and consulting firm are called on campus before them I have started to get confused. I dont want be the fool who aimed at day 1 companies and left the day -1 and day 0 firms.

[@InsiderGyaan]

I think they paid more so called in day 1, and now everyone wants to get a day 1 job so they end up getting the best candidates always, and hence people continue to think best people go to consults / IB 😛 1 good point about them are these are kind of generalist fields giving you a lot of learning experience in a short time. But ur aim of going into the industry and tech makes sense, and if you can, stand your ground because Amazon abg etc are great places to work with good work life balance and that is important too!

[@yashaparik]

IB salary + bonus is better than consulting. Work-life balance is also the same. Then, IB> Consulting. Any contradictory points appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻

[@InsiderGyaan]

It will be grossly inappropriate to say work life is similar is IB and MC. IB has it way worse

Hey what's your take on getting into consulting (MBB) after your undergrad, right of the bat? Like i, probably be enrolling in IIM Indore for IPM program (BA+MBA). But tbh, I am inclined towards getting into consulting after bachelors. And then after few years work experience, going to HBS or Upenn. Which is quite common in USA, to get in MBB after undergrad! But in India after undergrad opportunities doesn't seem too prominent! So can you tell me is it really hard/rare to get in top consulting firm like MBB after undergrad?
