How many years it takes to be considered as an experienced hire ?

Hi,


I finished engineering school a year ago and I'm currently working as an engineering consultant in a small firm. I was considering strategy consulting while in school, but tought it was better to do a bit of engineering before, since that's what I studied for.


Will I be considered as an experienced hire to MBB ? I read that my chances to get a job interview is a lot less if I'm considered as one.


Do you think it's a better idea to get enrolled in a MBA at then apply on-campus ?

Dear Kenny, 


if you come from another MBB firm, you might be considered an experienced hired already after 2 years of working experience. If, as in your case, you come from a completely different industry, you might need slightly more, such as 3-4 years experience. This what happens in average, however, note that there might be differences or exceptions among the different offices.


If you pass the selection as experienced hired, you might start with a "junior" title. For example, at McKinsey you might start as "Junior Associate" which is a non-official position that will last only for a "trial period" of 6 months or similar, before you get officially to the next step, in this case, to "Associate" (that in BCG is call "Consultant").


As a matter of fact, less people join the firm as experienced hire. However, talking with a few colleagues from the HR department, I discovered that there are just fewer applications of this kind and the people come less prepared to the interview (maybe thinking that their experience is enough to guarantee them a spot).


If they like your CV, they like your CV, full stop. They will then suggest you in which position they see you better. Will an MBA increase your chances to get in as an experienced hire? Certainly yes! However, you can also try to apply now and in case you don´t succeed, you apply again after the MBA: 1-2 years will have passed and your CV will look brand new.


I hope I´ve been helpful and made a bit of light on this point.
hi bhautik,


being eligible to write cat is different from being eligible to get into iims. there are so many factor based on which you get an interview call. when a student applied for iims right after bachelors, then inadvertently academics become the only criteria for them to decide. this however, is not the case with experience candidates. one you have a good industry experience of 3 years you can hit it better. if you seriously wish to pursue mba do not limit yourself to iims on and look for atleast 5 best bschools in the country. you are eligible to write all the entrance exams but i would suggest you to build an extremely strong profile before you apply. all the best.feel free to reach out to me should you have any further questions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/environmental\_engineering

you would probably be looking at 4-5 years of college. most environmental engineers are actually civil engineers. Yes. You can study while working also. But what course you want to study is more important.  
With your graduation, you can start trying for a job. Many banks, PSUs and private organisations advertise posts. So you apply for them and start preparing well. If you want and if you can, you can consider joining in a coaching centre and get trained properly so that you will get a job in a good bank or any other good organisation.   
Once you join in a job, you can think of studying and acquiring new skills. There are distant education programmes and there are part-time institutes. You can decide on the course you want to study. You say you want to study cost and management accounting courses.  
The following are some of the institutes offering courses in the area you are interested in. These are online courses.  
1. Harvard-Business-School: They are offering a course called CORe Course. This is a course. on the fundamentals of business thinking. A three-course online program is designed by this institute which suits for the people who just graduates. You can go through https://www.hbs.edu/Pages/default.aspx so that you will get all the details about this course and the other courses this school is offering.  
2. Amity University: This university is offering various courses in the field of your interest. There are degree courses, diploma and PG diploma courses online which suited you. Their website is https://www.amity.edu/. You can refer and decide on the course.  
3. Indian School of Business: This institute is also a good institute offering courses online. They are offering Accounts based marketing course. Their web address is https://www.isb.edu/. Please go through the same for all the required details.  
4. University of South Africa: Their web address is https://www.unisa.ac.za/. They are having many courses online and their course on management accounting is popular. Go through the above address for full details.  
  
There are many such institutes. First, concentrate on getting a job and then join in any above institutes and continue your study. Though basically, there exists some difference in the cirriculam and the pattern of teaching, but in terms of recognition of these qualification, these are treated at par.   
Completion of a BE degree takes four year after passing 10+2, but practically to achieve a M.Sc degree in computer- science would take five years after 10+2 stage. This is because a candidate adopts an alternative rout where one studies B.Sc computer - science for three years and rest two years are utilised for completion for the post - graduation course in computers. In fact, the later qualification deals with the basic approach of the computers thereby making an aspirant sound in the theory but in the former qualification, much stress is given on the practical field.  
For all practical purpose, in terms of employment, no differentiation has been made among the qualifications like BE, MCA and M.Sc in computer - science. All are treated equally in terms of values.   
Hence, you can apply for a job where the qualification for BE is sought unless it is specifically mentioned in the advertisement. years ago you have to have a degree in chemical engineering to become a top person in environmental engineering at a plant.
there was no such thing as an environmental engineering degree.

you never touch waste water - you are just in charge of meeting state compliance and environmental standards. 
you have poeple with ged's that do any dirty work.

the government publishes a gray book - forgot the name - that covers all environmental regulations that must be followed by every company - this will become your bible.

cheme's do not spend all day on a lab.
they go on to be production managers and plant manangers.
chemical engineers is currently one of the highest paying 4 year degrees.
the degree is highly in demand - take it if you think you can pass it.
if not environmental engineers can easily make just a bit under of what cheme's make.
both are rewarding careers that will get you respect.

remember - there is no dumpster diving - not when you are making 75k a year to start.
you'll have people that will jump when you say jump.
/ typically even in an informal interview i will have reviewed a candidate's resume. so yes, to some degree, i will have learned about the candidate's occupation. the purpose of the interview will then determine how much detail i go into with the candidate on their occupation. is it the first step toward employment for an open job for which the candidate is qualified? is it a courtesy interview where i'm helping a candidate learn about a company? am i simply helping a student to polish their interview skills? the level of formality and explorations of one's occupation and related qualifications can change significantly based on the answer to many of these questions. an early stage start-up is still at the nascent stage. this makes for a very creative and flexible learning environment. they prioritise quick learning and determination. early stage start-ups provide good chances for adding to the skill set. you learn quick decision making and have additional responsibilities. an early stage start-up hinges on multitasking and passion since the pay can be uncertain. start-up is more growth oriented as compared to experienced corporations. it is a good place to develop and acquire multiple skills. hey everyone,

i was in a similar spot last year and was going through ft recruitment without having a major banking internship on wall street. i come from a super non-target and ended up doing a masters of finance this year at a decently known school. by being super diligent and persistent i was able to land a job on the street. my advice if you are coming from a background like mine would be to find an internship whether paid or unpaid that offers some type of transaction experience over this summer. hello team
could anyone could please help me in knowing the details regarding the job vacancies for mba finance freshers. as i m currently pursuing my mba and want to know about the future in this field so that i can have a clear idea of about my future when i come out to the society. so guys please help me and make me aware of the things so that i can be able to do all things for most schools, your application is considered complete once all parts of your application have been sent in; this includes test scores. therefore, unless you specifically request otherwise, it's going to be a toss-up as to whether or not your application gets looked at before your second set of s…
