裁的以后很难重新回到这个行业，注意，不是说
回原公司，而是整个consulting行业都不会接纳。
据说是本行业的潜规则。这个，听起来好像比较恐怖。
考虑到最后升上去的比例这么小，那大量associate
最后岂不是都沦落到没有饭碗？ | d*****y
发帖数: 1073 | 2 Thats BS. If you are doomed to be a complete failure in management
consulting, then you should know better to seek other opportunities.
Tons of talented associates leave this field each year to diversify their
experiences, one guy i know from Bain left the MC practice to join a start-
up tech firm. If you must narrow your choices before you even start, I dont
see the point of living. | d**i

我也不想打击大家和自己，只是保持信心的同时，
我们也需要充分警惕资本家轧干新鲜血液就抛弃的险恶居心不是？
原文如下：
This is all to say that while the consulting industry has so many merits, it
is extremely risky. You may make a hefty six-figure salary as an MBA-level
consultant, but you are very likely to experience a couple painful and
costly years of unemployment during a long consulting career. And, once
ejected from your consulting role (no matter what the reason you left), it
is extremely hard to reenter the industry. As a g

. it's more like a business postdoc, as said by a 40 year veteran at a recr

发帖数: 86 | 6 不知道你的说法是否正确。
但是在mc做过的人会在很短时间内积累许多其他行业的经验。转到其他
行业做是很正常。也比较容易。
不是所有的人的体力能在MC坚持一辈子的。干些念头换行很正常

发帖数: 7 | 7 不知道说得对不对：多数 management consultant 以后都很难做到 principle or
partner。其实 MC job 就像 post-doc，只能做一段时间，以后还是要找 industry 里
的普通工作的。当然 MC 工作应该提供很好的背景和各种机会用来找工作，以后可以去
熟悉的 industry 里做 management，或者可以 startup。相比 technical background
，然后一步一步往上爬，MC 背景应该还是有些 shortcut 的。当然在 industry 能做
得怎么样，也要看能力、水平、和机遇了。
Hopefully, MC can help shape the career path, get a head start, eventually,
you may get back into the industry. So be very very nice to your clients,
they may become your colleague or boss in the future. | m***n
发帖数: 266 | 8 Thanks for the inputs by all you guys!
It's interesting to see the analogy used by a few people here, that MC is
like an industrial postdoc. In this sense, it seems less of a concern of
getting fired and having to quit from MC since it's only a transient step...
Thanks for your sharing!
