<p>It looks like most people in this thread understand what consulting is. Not to mention the way you phrased your question was condescending.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No one is going to hold your hand through everything. If you looked carefully in the OP, the statement said:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This presupposes that people who are asking questions have the basic knowledge of what consulting is. I also gave you a great site that discusses consulting in more depth than I can offer. You can continue to come off as a holier-than-thou ******bag and stomp your foot because you don’t know how to use a search engine, or do your homework and then come back to “chat with the big boys”.</p>

<p>Okay Emprex. It’s clear you’re incredibly immature. First off, a ****** bag is a device that emits a medicinal jet of water. Second you’re vulgar, improperly using terms, and insulting others that merely wanted an answer to a question. You’re clearly suffering from intellectual and social immaturity, regardless of your age.</p>

<p>It’s not holding your hand to actually define the terms you continually use.</p>

<p>Also stop making assumptions and press ALT F4.</p>

<p>I am in NYU Stern. Could this brand name help me a little bit in terms of breaking into consulting career?</p>

<p>For the sake of your inability to use the world wide web, Palier, here are a couple of good links from sources that are more credible then 90% of the people on here.</p>

<p>Best chance for people at our school to go into consulting is to major in Finance + something else interesting and join MCG LOL</p>

<p>How much does it suck to be on the road four days a week?</p>

<p>Hi, if someone isn’t going to a big name school, but is part of highly selective programs that offer unique opportunities (such as spending two years in Hong Kong) and have unique skills would that give them a chance?
(I’m talking about management consulting btw.)</p>

<p>Also about the life in general, do most new hires travel a lot or does that arise once one becomes more experienced?</p>

<p>You have to make the most out of it and put things in perspective. I get to travel the country and sometimes the world for free. I live a unique lifestyle relative to friends and family and there are tons of fringe benefits that come with it. I fly in first class all of the time because i am always upgraded, I never pay for a hotel when I travel, flights are typically free given how many points I have earned and I earn per diem which is totally tax free. </p>

<p>I don’t get to enjoy the cities I travel to very much during the week (outside of going somewhere for dinner), but I do have the opportunity to stay for the weekend or fly to another city in the country for free in lieu of going home.</p>

<p>Attitude is everything and you have to embrace the lifestyle. Perfect for right out of school.</p>
