Hi GuysI am working as a Business analyst in one of the Aussie banks in Sydney (through an Indian IT company) and have good exposure to compliance related projects as well as BI. I will be joining HEC Paris in Jan and getting interested in MC.Now I am aware of few things after going through the forums such as in Europe, only LBS & INSEAD are considered as top business schools(Don&apos;t want to get into discussion on that ..quite happy going to HEC ) and that any kind of IT experience is generally ridiculed at , I want to know if I do stand a realistic chance of breaking into MBB or maybe firms that would come next in the pecking order ?Also , how good is HEC considered by recruiters ? I can see it has enough alums in all top firms ,however none of them seems to be recruiting on campus. Is there anything I can do to bolster my chances and remove the stigma of IT (general consensus on web ..personally no problem with IT related work) .Looking for genuine advise which I can follow to try and getting into MC. No particular location preference. I will be 30+ by the time I finish off the MBA. Is that a disadvantage and assuming I do manage to make it to one of the firms, will I be slotted in tech based projects only because of my prior background ?

There is no harm in trying to get into MBB, but I would treat it as a slim possibility (1%) and have another plan as your plan A, plus a few plan B&apos;s.Reasons are the ones you identify yourself. Your competition will all be straight-A students from target MBA schools, mostly with prior consultancy experience from Big4 firms, etc.The so-called second string firms are just as stringent in their recruitment - it&apos;s their market position which is very slightly inferior.I suggest you learn the difference between advise and advice. I&apos;m not being a snob - it&apos;s a fairly important word in the MC world - you don&apos;t want to get it wrong.
