Hey guys,I'm coming (relatively) close to graduating from undergrad with a BSBA in MIS from a top ranking MIS school (Eller College of Management), where I will then be applying and getting my Masters in MIS as well. I'm currently studying for the Network+ and plan on studying for the CCNA while in my senior year, graduating with my Bachelors in 2014 (Masters in 2015). I am currently a Systems Administrator at the university Bookstore, gaining a lot of knowledge well within the scope of my degree and networking as well. We do everything relating to MIS/IT... Also, I am currently managing the IT for a medical practice, and consulting for them as well with a coworker from the bookstore. Suffice to say, I'm gaining a lot of PCI compliance knowledge and HIPAA compliancy knowledge from both jobs, whilst still being full time. I feel like this would be the perfect combination of knowledge to use in IT consulting.With that, I am passionate about my field, and am planning on doing the Masters once I graduate. Once I graduate, my thought is that I really want to get broad scope knowledge with IT consulting from Accenture in Phoenix. I have quite a few friends who graduated with just their Bachelors and not nearly the experience I have already, and they got into IT consulting with small projects. My question is first, what kind of projects can I expect to command if I were to also land a job in IT consulting with my experience and academics? What role could I take with what I have? What would a guy in my situation typically command with respect to salary? On top of that, I have a lot of other things not necessarily related.. but I am both fluent in English and Spanish having been raised by two Argentine parents. My goal would be to someday work a year or two with a project in Argentina with IT consulting... Having lived all over the world and having spent a lot of time abroad, I feel fairly confident that I can command a very respectable title with meaningful projects and salary.Would love to hear your input!
