Hi, long time reader, first time poster.
I am hoping to interview for strategic and operational management consulting positions this fall. I have the option to start a masters this fall also which I feel will be important to securing an offer as my grades are good but not great.
I was wondering which masters would be most beneficial to getting an S&O offer from a second tier firm, MSc in: Project management, Management, Management Consultancy, Strategic management and planning, management and organisation studies or International management.
Thanks

Strategic management, international management, maybe management consultancy (only if the coursework is not very focused on IT stuff).
Also, if one of these guarantees you a prestigious exchange semester, go for that one.
Contact career services for statistics of the recent graduating classes if they don't provide any.
If this is for Europe, PM me if you want. I interviewed with MBB & Co. but went for IB eventually.
