Is there a big difference in the positions recruited for when the candidate has a masters degree (related to business like Finance, MIS, Supply Chain, etc) as oppose to an MBA degree? I know in the US most master sutdents are hired for analyst type positions and in rare cases (sufficient work experience) they are hired as associates. Is this the same across the globe, or is Europe different? by the way, this is about Management Consulting firms (Mck, Bain, BCG, ADL, BAH, AT KEARNEY, Monitor, and all other small, boutique MC firms) and NOT about system integrators or IT consulting (like Accenture, CapGemni, Atos, etc) Thanks.
