I am trying to change a job and want to move to the consulting business. I have around seven years of experience in my field. Which I think would be quite valuable.

      These top management consulting firms such as McKinsey, Bain and BCG have a stringent selection process. These firms usually receive over 100,000 applications annually and hire less than 1% new consultants. The most challenging stage is getting a call for an interview.

      You need to have the following to get into the top consulting firms.

      • Graduated from the top university in your country
      • Already in touched/connected with the consulting companies through networking events/sites
      • High IQ
      • Entrepreneurial spirit
      • Excellent communication skills
      • Leadership quality
      • Extracurricular activities
      • Already an experienced and well-known expert in your field (for an experienced consulting position)
      • From an elite/affluent family can be a plus point as at the end of the day, you would be able to win more contracts for the company
