Is it possible to get a job at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or A.T Kearney 1 year after graduating from IIM Ahmedabad?

HS
Harleen Sethi Posted On : December 22nd, 2022
Works at McKinsey & Company

At McKinsey, the minimum time between two attempts to go through the recruitment process is 24 months. The procedure is the same as on campus, with similar case-type interviews. There are two options for applying: directly through the website or through a referral. In either case, your CV will not be accepted until you have completed two years of work. The process for lateral hires is carried out 1-2 times per year, depending on the availability of roles. If your CV is chosen for further consideration, you will be contacted for an interview. If the partners interviewing you are unsure about something, the opinions of your batch mates will only serve as a push in either direction. Also, if you were previously shortlisted for campus interviews, those who interviewed you will be asked for their perceptions.

As a result, it would be beneficial to receive feedback on why you did not pass the previous exam and whether you were able to make up the difference in the two years between. For example, if you lacked leadership experience, did your workplace provide you with opportunities to demonstrate it? Have you gained experience delivering analytics-heavy projects if your academics or problem-solving skills were a weak link? These are the topics on which you will be grilled the most.

Lateral hiring for those who were previously rejected is extremely rare, and even if you make it, you will start at the bottom, a couple of years junior to your batch mates.

Why do people prefer IIM Calcutta over IIM Ahmedabad for finance-related jobs?

BJ
Bhawana Jain Posted On : December 21st, 2022
Studied at IIM Ahmedabad

The claim that IIM Calcutta is India's finance campus, is overstated. Yes, C has a slightly higher number of finance recruiters, but the majority of the top recruiters also attend IIM Ahmedabad and Bangalore. The difference is in tier 2 and 3 finance companies, which Ahmedabad makes up for with good FMCG and consulting roles.

In general, placement processes in Calcutta are disorganized when compared to Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and even FMS. Processes in Calcutta are woefully out of date, as evidenced by the recent dissent against place reps and the subsequent motion of no confidence.

It has been noticed that people only select IIM Calcutta over IIM Ahmedabad if they are having problems with location and not because they believe Calcutta to be superior to Ahmedabad.

What should a 5-pointer at IIT do during his MBA at IIM Calcutta to crack a job at one of the top management consultancies i.e McKinsey Bain BCG Strategy?

UA
Urshiya Akhtar Posted On : December 20th, 2022
IIM C alumni with a summer internship at Accenture Management Consulting

Getting into a consulting firm has less to do with your academic performance and more to do with your overall personality. Of course, being an IIT graduate, regardless of your grade, boosts your resume. If you have multiple consulting shortlists, your chances of getting an interview with a consultancy firm increase dramatically, because each firm is trying to get one up on the other, and one way to do that is to hire someone who others also want on board. It is critical to establish contacts with seniors who have interned at consulting firms and, if possible, with alumni who work there. Make your intentions clear and seek advice on how to improve your resume in order to attract attention.

A well-rounded resume is highly valued by consulting firms. So make sure you include enough points in the "Positions of Responsibility" and "Extra Curricular" sections. Getting into the Drams Cell at IIM Calcutta increases your chances of being shortlisted by a consulting firm significantly. Attempt to become an active member of the top clubs on campus, participate in business competitions, volunteer for social activities, and make up for your undergrad grades in the first term.

What kind of roles do Google, and Facebook hire from management institutes like IIM Ahmedabad IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta?

PK
Parneet Kaur Posted On : December 19th, 2022
Studied at IIM Calcutta

Google pays a visit to the campus and offers two positions. It's either Product Management (PM) or Marketing. However, both positions may not be available every year. It is determined by the state of the economy, the requirements, and the campus-Google relationship. The project manager position is more desirable than the marketing position.

This year, it hired from IIM C for positions such as industry manager, account manager, and account strategist. Infosys' international positions are for its client-servicing group. All of these candidates will be based in the United States or London. GE Capital and Baring Private Equity are two other recruiters.

What are the chances of working in the USA after a PGDM from IIM Calcutta?

AJ
Arshit Jain Posted On : December 19th, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Calcutta

There is practically no place in the corporate world you cannot reach if you attend India's top management school, IIM Calcutta. You and your degree are well-known and respected in this community.

When it comes to regions outside of India, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or Australia and New Zealand, your degree is not recognized on par with Tier-1 global MBA colleges. In fact, you are likely to be treated on par with graduates from that country's tier-2/3 colleges.

After hiring an IIM graduate, few companies offer a position in the United States. These are typically consulting (management/strategy/IT) positions that may require you to travel to the United States on an H1 or L1 visa. There are very few chances. If settling in the United States is your primary goal, it is preferable to pursue a higher degree (MS/MBA) in the United States.
