I heard that once you become a consultant, you should start a lifestyle of "becoming CEO and marrying Bai"?
Let's talk about it from four aspects.
1. Million annual salary
Second, great expectations.
Third, a rare experience
Fourth, eternal aura and ability.
1. Million annual salary
There are many rumors about MBB's high salary. I can't wait to say that these companies all have their own printing presses.
Today, in line with the purpose of not believing in rumors and not spreading rumors, I will give you an authoritative release-these rumors,
It is basically reliable!
See the figure below:
In the past, the career path of a typical consulting company was:
After graduating from undergraduate course, he became an analyst in a consulting company. After 2-3 years, he was sent to MBA by the company. I will be a consultant after coming back, a project manager after two years, a deputy partner after two years, and a partner after two or three years.
People from all walks of life enter consulting companies through MBA to become consultants, and then take the above route.
What about now? People in the community also have opportunities. For people without an MBA:
Excellent talents with five years' work experience are usually treated as MBA.
Working experience of less than three years is usually equivalent to undergraduate graduation.
So, what about the salary?
In recent years, the starting salary of MBB graduates has been greatly increased, and the basic salary is said to be 300 thousand (bonus is counted separately)
After graduating from MBA (or social recruitment), working as a consultant in a consulting company, the total annual income of salary plus year-end bonus can be almost 100w RMB. After that, I will be promoted every two to three years, and my salary will be greatly increased. It usually takes about 7-8 years to become a partner from consulting, which was about 300-400w at that time. From 100w to 300-400w in 7 years, the compound annual growth rate is about 20%.
Second, great expectations.
Most people use consultation as a springboard, but what opportunities are there after consultation? The answer is any chance. If nothing else, it is normal for about 2-3 headhunters to send you emails every week. Some of my colleagues went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, some worked as film producers, some worked as strategy/mergers and acquisitions in large enterprises, some worked as CEOs in large enterprises, and some chose to join startups or start their own businesses.
The most typical way, let's take BAT as an example. The strategic department of Tencent Group is quite large. The big boss of the group strategy department is one of the cores of Tencent Group's management team, and he is a partner poached from M's family. Under the Group Strategy Department, small departments are set up for different business lines of Tencent (such as banks and WeChat). These small departments are equivalent to the strategic headquarters of a business line or subsidiary of Tencent (such as Tencent Bank). In 20 14, an AP (deputy partner) of the M family was dug up to be the boss of the strategic department of the bank. Employees in each small department are divided into directors and managers. Basically, M's project manager or senior associate went to the director. In the past two years, many friends have stayed in MBB for about two years after graduating from MBA in various business schools (Wharton, Ross, Foucault, etc.). Then I went to Tencent to be the director.
Third, a rare experience
Aside from income and career development opportunities, consulting can also give you a lot of things from the spiritual level that other industries can't experience. Because at the level of consultant or even project manager, you don't have to focus on a specific industry. You have access to entrepreneurs with tens of billions of assets, from Shanxi coal mines to airlines, and African refugees who are too poor to eat. It is a blessing to have such an experience in life.
Take myself as an example. I once worked on a project for a global charity fund. The content was to formulate a strategy for their cooperation with a Ministry in China. During that time, I went to state organs all day, from the chief clerk to the director, interviewing everywhere, and even the doorman was almost intimate. Not long after the end of the project, another colleague in the group was invited by the foundation to continue the project in Africa, where he made suggestions for African brothers to transport ice!
Fourth, eternal aura and ability.
Finally, in addition to studying MBA from famous universities in Europe and America, the experience of top consulting companies brings you as much aura and skills as you can learn from MBA from famous universities. Often hear friends introduce each other, if it is mentioned that someone once worked in XXX, it will always make people admire and admire. This kind of gas field can be used almost anywhere, whether it is introducing work or introducing objects.
