Impressive CV. You must always have a back up plan in case things do not go your way. Apply to both PWC and KPMG and aim to complete your CA qualification exam. These two firms have have an edge when it come to studying for CA exam. Aim to do well at assessment centers for MA program. You should aim for both BB and local banks.
Was wondering if I should just try apply for the Big Four in case I don’t get into management consulting or management associate roles? Any opinion guys? |
You must always have a back up plan just in case things do not go as plan. Both KPMG and PWC are more ideal as you will probably have more time to complete the CA qualification. As for MA program, aim for both BB and local banks. My opinion is that banking is more suitable for you than working as an analyst in a consulting firm at this early stage of your career. The latter should only be considered after post grad.
