Hi, I am in my final year university and after graduating would like to pursue a career in consulting (management consulting). Would studying a Masters in Management add value to my CV?Thanks for any adviceGrad

Not really.

ditto. what university did you go to?

Thanks for the reply,Did my degree at Kingston University and have worked as an analyst at ACN during my placement.I have been offered a place at Cass Business School, not sure whether to take it or go straight into work?Thanks Again,

The Masters should usually be your fall back position at this point in your career - usually better to get some experience in a MC the go back to do a masters later if you want; however, with the current situation no one could blame you for taking the softer option and hiding out in academia for another year while things get moving again. the risk you take is coming out into a deepening recession with just another masters and no experience...

Grad,Did you work as a consulting analyst or with the solutions workforce? There is a significant difference between the two. I take it as you're not going back to Accenture, it was the latter.EC

worked in as an analyst in consulting, got a job offer but want to see what else is out there. I am not to convinced about ACG, it seems to be a rather grey area. I am keen to get involved in MC as I feel this would suit my skills, but ACG seems like a gamble to me....would be great if anyone could offer their thoughts?thanks for the advice.....it appreciated!

Probably. Best consider process driven courses with high technical and resource-driven contentZB
