May | 2010 | PhD consultant
https://phdconsultant.wordpress.com/2010/05
From scientist to management consultant. Archive for May, 2010. May 24, 2010. We’ve all heard about the “up or out” policy of many consultancy firms (as well as other firms). This means that employers are expected to get promoted after a pre-fixed length of time or else they are. To leave the firm. Today I would like to focus on that word: encouraged. What does it exactly mean? Can the company make them leave or they would be stacked with that person? May 4, 2010. Here is my top guess. I’ll get...Did you...

About me | PhD consultant
https://phdconsultant.wordpress.com/about
From scientist to management consultant. I’m a PhD student in Science who will start working for one of the Big Four Management Consulting firms in September 2010. Although there are plenty of blogs and resources out there concerning the application process, I find that there is not a lot of information on the web discussing the transition from being a scientist to being a consultant. Hi, I am also phd and I think i just failed mckinsey test. could you please elaborate on how you prepared for a test?

From Chemistry to Consulting | PhD consultant
https://phdconsultant.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/from-chemistry-to-consulting
From scientist to management consultant. From Chemistry to Consulting. April 23, 2010. I just came across this. Article on Pia Götze, a woman who moved from Chemistry to working for the Boston Consulting Group. The article is a bit old (November 2002), but I think her arguments still apply today. I particularly enjoyed the part where she is asked “Many people are not really familiar with the term “consulting. Can you explain what a consultant actually does? 8220;At BCG, we support the management of compa...

Shopping for consulting | PhD consultant
https://phdconsultant.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/shopping-for-consulting
From scientist to management consultant. Laquo; An MBA after a PhD? May 4, 2010. The bottom line is that I’m going to go out and buy myself a new wardrobe before I start this consulting job. If you are a man, it is relatively easy: buy a few suits, several shirts and ties and business shoes. There is a great post on that here. Is there any thing that I will absolutely need that is not listed here? Did you find your self totally wearing the wrong thing and realizing only once you were there? I think the t...

Keeping weekends free | PhD consultant
https://phdconsultant.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/keeping-weekends-free
From scientist to management consultant. Laquo; From Chemistry to Consulting. An MBA after a PhD? April 26, 2010. In the last post. We talked about an interview. To Pia Götze, a Chemist who decided to move into consulting. I would like to use a piece of her interview to discuss today the topic of number of hours worked in academia vs consulting. The worse part of this is, of course, that they expect you to do the same. For example, since I started my PhD there have been very, very few weekends in whi...

From scientist to management consultant. Laquo; Why Management Consulting. April 16, 2010. Once I decided that I wanted to give management consulting a try I started diving into the application process. I soon realized that it would be hard to get a position and that I would need to spend a good amount of time preparing for the interviews. The companies websites. They have lots of information about the process and examples of cases which are very worthwhile reading. Http:/ www.caseinterview.com/. The har...
