<p>he means i-bankers.</p>
<p>how long does it take to become VP from the associate level?</p>
<p>I think I am going to be doing management for sure as a major but I think that I might not take MIS like I thought before. I don't exactly have to be sure about what I want as my major just yet and can change it later this year but what would be more beneficial Accounting and Management or Finance and management?</p>
<p>I don't really know what be more helpful for consulting but do you all think?</p>
<p>THe top 12 recruiters at my school by number recruited are (I assume in order):
PriceWaterhouseCoopers
Deloitte
KPMG
Accenture
Ernst & Young
IBM
Reznick Group
Beers & Cutler
Booz Allen Hamilton
T. Rowe Price
General Electric
Northrop Grumman</p>
<p>Would accounting or finance be better for these companies? </p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>Depends on the company</p>
<p>PriceWaterhouseCoopers--accounting
Deloitte--accounting
KPMG --accounting
Accenture--accounting/finance
Ernst & Young--accounting
IBM--ops/finance
Reznick Group--accounting/finance
Beers & Cutler-accounting/finance
Booz Allen Hamilton-finance

<p>Your college seems to be heavy on accounting recruiters (those that consult not just in strategy, but on accounting and tax matters). My guess is you are going to Univ of Maryland.</p>
<p>Oh, I see above that you already said you are at Univ of Maryland. I guess the T. Rowe Price recruitment gave it away, since their headquarters is in Owings Mills.</p>
<p>yeah, UMD. That was a great guess, very impressive. </p>
<p>I think I might be doing accounting and management. My uncle tells me to work on taxes and stuff but I'll see. If I was going an accounting path is there any reason to duel in Management? Or if I was to do consulting work would there be good jobs for consulting in accounting or would it be better to be finance and management?</p>
<p>Well, people are usually more impressed by the business specialties as majors or dual majors. Management is usually what people major in when they can't make up their minds about which area they want to go into--and as such, they usually don't have to take as many detailed courses. But I'd say any dual major is good, since it usually indicates that you had to take more courses to achieve it--and this shows ambition and drive.</p>
<p>Oh, and above for IBM I should have said ops/finance/marketing.</p>
<p>Project management is a great field to go into. I have had many years of success in the industry and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to pursue a career in the industry. One tool that has given me great success is the Kolb Learning program provided by the HayGroup. You can take a look at it by visiting <a href=“Hay Group”>Hay Group;
<p>4 year old thread. Don’t click the link.</p>
<p>Anyone reading this thread, take it with a grain of salt because it’s over 4 years old.</p>
<p>The collapse of the financial industry probably left most of these guys and those they knew in the industry out of jobs. Only reason they were making $300K plus was because the whole industry was built on a house of cards during that time period.</p>
<p>The irony is most of them didn’t know what they were doing (in the financial markets) and were allowed to expose their companies to too much risk, and also distorted the real estate market by pushing massive funds into mortgage-back-securities. The bubble popped in 2007, bringing on the recession, and nearly bringing the country’s (and world’s) economy to its knees.</p>
<p>I hope most of the people that responded to this thread in 2006 are now working at Walmart, McDonald’s or 7-11, because that is all they are qualified to work at.</p>
<p>I find it hilarious that the thread says ‘management consulting’ and the first couple posts talk about I banking and finance jobs.</p>
<p>But I can do a update here. I recently graduated college with a BS in Economics. I work in management/IT consulting. I get payed a little over $50k a year. There are two recent Stern graduates on my team that have been there over a year and I make more money then they do. Most likely because they are a little stupid, being single orientated and unable to do multiple tasks at a time. One of them always claims the work we do is under him because he graduated with honors and should be the project lead. I guess complaining is a required class at Stern.</p>
<p>hello, another management consultant here</p>
<p>the aforementioned complainers are the reasons firms have the up-or-out policy</p>
<p>i bankers deserved what they got, greedy people. Almost the polar opposite of mgmnt consulting, where you actually have meaning in life.</p>
