The only reason you should go into it is if u feel u hv a passion for understanding people. You could also pursue this for few yes before going for a reputed mba and then go into cinsulting.

Thank you very much for your input, glad to have an opinion from someone already in the industry.
Passion definitely is there for me, and I agree with going for a MBA in time to come (though unsure if I could get into a reputed one), as one of my ultimate aims is to join mgt consultancy firms.
Generally, how much time should you spend in an agency before considering to switch to client side? And it seems to be a difficult task given what you mentioned?
