I have experience of around 5.8 years and looking for a career in strategy/consulting. Is the XLRI GMP program worth going for I should try again?

One of my very close friends studied GMP program at XLRI and here are some review points according to his experience which might give you a proper idea -

• It involves building a career in Strategy/ Consulting.
• You can directly get into a consulting firm but remember this happens often and not all the time.
• It is a 2-phase preparation where you can build expertise in a particular domain and move to consulting roles.
• At the end of the day, remember that "Consultant" is just a name given to a role. You may be creating a solution or devising a strategy under different roles.

Top companies like Microsoft, Accenture, CBC, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, and other companies like Tech Mahindra, TCS GCP, HCL, L&T infotech, Hero Motors, etc visit the campus to recruit students with modest packages.

Check the previous placement reports and see if the companies you have in mind have recruited from this program. It will help in deciding if you want to enroll or not.
