You know that you are not made for consulting when...

Over one month into the course and the only buzz word that can give ‘Networking’ a run for its money for the ‘buzz word of the month’ title is ‘Consulting’; thanks to the ELP season. Btw... 'Election' isn't a buzz word (or is it?).

Meanwhile, the aspirants are digging deeper into the text books and course material and reference books and the internet and the library and what not! And those who know that they would never make it – like me – are writing stupid blogs even when all the three assignments for the week are in the “about to begin” stage!

The hopefuls are also seeking gyan from all channels to decide on “what they want to do in life”, which is good in my view. But for those who have still not made up their mind on whether or not to go for consulting, here is my bit of gyan...

You know that you are not made for consulting when:

1. You thought Mckinsey was just another burger chain like McDonalds

2. You believed in the idea that “grades don’t matter, learning does”

3. You got rattled by the sheer vocabulary of the questions in your weekend assignments [same pinch!]

4. You thought business travel included sight seeing

5. Finally, you thought the purpose of locating ISB at Hyderabad was to treat you to a culinary fest of biryanis and kebabs all over the city [All those who have been frequenting Shadaabs and the Paradises, beware!]
