"Back Office Positions" <- What does that mean?

If you want to do operations, there is nothing wrong with it. However, understand that it may receive more respect at some companies than others. Strategy consulting is largely about process improvement and thus operations is very important at companies like BCG, McKinsey, and Bain. There are plenty of MBA students coming from financial firms like Goldman that would love to get a job at one of those companies.

<p>Thanks! It’s funny you should mention strategy/management consulting. I’ve been reading up on it and it sounds really interesting, but it’s probably nearly impossible to get a job at those places after undergrad.</p>
