Hi Mumsnet Community!
I am looking to get into managment consulting (audit/digital transformation/risk) in either a Big 4 or Tier 1 firm (or even a more boutique firm to start off with), while completing a BSc in Media and Communications next year. I'm already working on tailoring my existing work experiences/extra-curriculars to fit the identities these companies look for, and listing grad schemes/internships I can apply for next year.
What other things can I do this summer to better prepare myself for when it comes to applying to these companies? Would you reccomend I take any courses (I was thinking like one of those short MBA courses, or something that gives me some business accumen)? How do I begin networking with professionals in the industry who can provide me with the right opportunities to get my foot in the door? How can I pick which sector of consulting I want to go into?
Coming from a non-traditional background, I have a lot of questions. Would love if someone could answer them!
