DESCRIPTION:
This book is a waste of money I don't think this book is helpful. The industry profile is minimal; the Harvard alumni's stories (a few) are a bit more interesting.The main part of the book contains the profiles of 62 management consulting firms. However, 17 of these companies have only 60 or fewer professionals, and a lot of them have offices only in a couple of cities. Examples - John Barry & Associates: 10 professionals, offices in Newport Beach only; Alliance Consulting Group: 35 professionals, offices in Boston and Cupertino; Amherst . The Harvard Business School Guide to Careers in MC. The indispensable career guide to the management consulting industry. Updated and improved for 2001, this book contains a wealth of information about the top management consulting firms. This book is based on a questionaire sent to these fims about what their firm does, the recruiting policy. This is a usefull book for anyone applying for jobs at these firms. My only critism, is that the book is light on technology consulting. This is a shame, expecially given that this area is the largest part of the consult. Geared for neophytes - not a useful publication for most Provides a cursory look at a consultant's life and some of the companies one would normally consider, along with many smaller companies that many people wouldn't have access to. Better information is likely available elsewhere, including the Internet and other publications.
Contributors describe a consultant's work, offer first-hand insights into the industry, profile well-known consulting firms, advise on career self-assessment and provide a mailing list of recruitment contacts.. This guide provides job-search advice for the prospective management consultant
