What exactly does consulting/ibanking entail?

<p>Was wondering, what exactly do you do in say management consulting or being an investment analyst? How many hours work per week etc? How hard is it to move up into hedge funds and equity? Thanks for any replies!</p>

<p>investment banking: <a href="http://careers-in-finance.com/ib.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://careers-in-finance.com/ib.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>consulting: <a href="http://www.careers-in-business.com/consulting/mc.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.careers-in-business.com/consulting/mc.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>yeah it's pretty difficult to get into Private Equity, it's best to do a 2 yr stint in banking and then make the shift.</p>

<p>For hedge funds you can actually do that straight out of undergrad, that's trading. it's a pretty different field.</p>

<p>You just have to show them greatness, once they see it, the job is yours, but don't forget, only greatness equals greatness, and nothing else.</p>
