Thank you.
These are soft skills, he didn't mentioned the technical ones
The guy has a certain genuineness on his face. The last thing he said about an inside company person not able to have a completely different perspective stuck a cord. Thank you. 👍👍👍
Munna bhaiya had great problem solving skills-"matlab abhi bilkul immidiate nhi socha hai, sochenge"
Most important skill: The ability to let go of a life. Because you’ll never have one once you join consultancy.
Damn
Big4 guy here. 100% agree. 💀

"I did a course in Philosophy and that is one of the most meaningful courses I've done over time" My guess is because it teaches you how to ask the right questions.
Rightly Said
What the name of the course and where did you do it?
Honest perspective. Well done Kunj and Anirudh!
Glad this was helpful and valuable!
There is a saying in consulting 'if you cannot become something become a consultant' 😃
You’ve to be a Tier 1 College Grad to become one!
Absolutely. They conveniently don't tell you this. LOL
Not compulsary bro
This is damn true
good info. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
What kind of problem solving? We as engineer consider problem solving is logical thinking as if I can slove a hard mathematics qus or a programming qus then I will consider myself as a good problem solver
Plethora of issues that are interconnected to business, management and costs. It's like a very complicated puzzle and if you come up with one or two answers, because of some or other barriers, you'll have to find more solutions and present all together.
I request insideiim to here my story " I am a great fan of insideiim as it lets me to know what really top mba college grads do. I am also an MBA aspirant from top bschool. I gave cat 2 times i got only 85 percentile now i have calls from tier-2 colleges like kj somiya, Tapmi,Great lakes etc. Now i am literally scared to open insideiim as it pinches me it's not for you.My request is to bring someone from these tier 2 colleges who studied well in thier mba and went on to succed in their carrer. I think there are many people like me.If you can share some success stories from tier 2 b-schools it will be a motivation for lots of people like me to move forward."
Hi Sai,
The intention is never to pinch anyone - each and every MBA aspirant or exam taker are welcome on our platform, irrespective of the percentile he or she has scored. And you're right - there are thousands of people like you, who have made it big even though they haven't studied in the top B-Schools. Here are a few videos of such people who have spoken on our platform:

If you got 85..you have scope to get 95+ ...so go for it.
I too gave my cat for second time this year and got 89 percentile. I have applied for a few tier 2 b schools and have gd/pi dates in about a month. I also have a 2 year gap, which makes my situation even more despondent. But I still hope that I could make best of whichever college I get.
@@AbhishekKumar-fq7ch Hey Abhishek, Best wishes for your interviews!
Agree
How to get consulting withoyt a heavy profile , because you know that everyone is not coming from top ug college or background. So if they aspire to join mbb what should they do at their mba college?
Eat 5 star, do nothing
Do we need to choose finance as our main elective or we can choose marketing to be a consultant in MBB
He chose economics first go to a Bschool then decide
The last statement from the interviewee
golden words @4:39
Agree
4:44 for my future reference :)
Nice 👌
Thank you for watching! Cheers!

He talked less about consulting
oh do u even know what that is lol
Do people from commerce background, who dont have srcc kind off brands in their resume can get into MBB?
It is hard and would require a lot of efforts, networking & guidance but one can definitely get into MBB
Only Power MBAs will hear the news that they’re having twins and the reactions is “oh shit”
hmm
Can I get a job as consultant from a local MBA college?
Aspire for the Top colleges in the nation first.
Can I be a management consultant with a degree from an average MBA college??
no
No, but you can start a business, become successful and hire these clowns to solve your business problems
@@georgephilip1966 😂😂😂😂Cool😎
Sir I am now I. 12th and I want to do MBA From top colleges so doing Engineering or doing BBA which is best option for me??????
Please reply...
Bba
If your goal is to pursue an MBA from top colleges, both engineering and BBA are viable options. However, the choice between the two depends on your personal interests
do companies employ only engineers in consulting firms ?
Not at all, numerous MBAs and other professionals are working in consulting firms as well.

Because of some reason I Did my grad from Sol du now preparing for cat does graduation from distance mode really create any effects in Gd pi or campus placements
You will always be asked this question why you did your grad from distance learning Everytime everywhere ... whether in admission interviews or placements but I believe if you have a valid justification and credentials to show for it won't make any problem in the long run...all the best
@@zaphodbeeblebrox3494 thanks man
In which Subject you did your Graduation 🎓
No 1 skill : Get Born in a Privileged family and get a network of Privileges people automatically inherited.
Note : I am talking about 90% of people in the Consulting Industry.
I thought iim c guy would be more impressive, more power in speech, he seemed a bit slow and light for being a partner and a iim c graduate
He’s good at making presentations and Excel
He will when he has to. He does not have to impress anyone now. He has got a job and has his life set, so why should he aim at speaking impressively? The impact of communication is what makes it impressive. Irrespective of how good you speak, if the audience (you) does not understand. It is utter waste
@@mohitforimprovement definately
What did you expect? He will shout 'Mitrooon' and bump his chest? 😂
Good
Thanks for watching
Guy hasn't slept well in months
Why he's so cute
Because he's like me😂😂
And you are so shallow 😂
Because he is rich
Because of Einstein's relativity theory violating the pogroms of string theory
