To the point aren't we :-) I guess the question(s) would be:

Which one?
How long?
In what capacity?
What was your experience?
Would you recommend one over the other?
How did it help/hurt your career?

There's no point in being coy, right?

- Mckinsey
- A few years
- Management Consultant
- Excellent. I would argue against going to B-School based on the Mck Knowledge System. The firm has an "up or out" culture. I opted out because the consultant lifestyle was not for me. Besides I like to create value not just maximize it
- Can't say if i recommend one over the others due to the lack of exposure to other firms. Only knew the boys of Bain and BCG, thought their firms were top notch.
- It was my first job out of college, so I definitely learned a lot, both consulting and how companies operate. Pretty solid name on the resume, helped me network to my current job in I-Banking. Solid network, people go to business school to achieve the same kind of network.

Any other questions, PM me.
