In Nigeria’s labour market or even entrepreneurship scene, the greatest deal of attention is given to academic high flyers – people that made first class and second class upper. Vast majority of companies set first class and 2.1, and in some cases 2.2, as minimum criteria for application in the first place. Less attention is given to people that did not too well in school.

Due to popular demand, JarusHub, Nigeria’s premier career mentoring platform, is organizing a one-day workshop on opportunities for poor-graders – people who did not do too well at the end of their academic programme.



THEME

AFTER A POOR GRADE, WHAT NEXT?

The workshop will examine opportunities (whether in corporate world or entrepreneurship space) that can be explored by people that fall into this category.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Graduates with 3rd class, pass or similar grades

Graduates with 2.2 and of low-demand courses irrespective of grade may also attend

FACILITATORS

Mr. Emmanuel Ewunmi

Mr. Ewunmi had a 3rd class degree in Biology Education (a poor grade in a low-demand course) from the University of Lagos in 1998. Despite this poor grade, he went ahead to become CEO of a consulting firm, a Principal at a top-notch international private school in Lagos, an astute investor in Nigeria’s financial markets and owner of several properties across Lagos. Mr. Ewunmi will be sharing with us his journey to success despite his grade.

Mr. Chukwudi Iwuchukwu

Mr. Iwuchukwu had a Pass degree from the Nigeria Law School in 2013. Undeterred by his grade, he apprenticed with a PR consulting firm and later went ahead to set up his own company which is doing well. He will be telling his story at the workshop.

Jarus

Although a first class graduate, Jarus is widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s authorities on career case studies. Jarus is the author of the book, The Road to Victoria Island: A Practical Guide to Climbing Career Ladder in Corporate Nigeria. He will be sharing case studies of poor-graders that went on to lead a successful career both in corporate jobs and entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurs start businesses, bear the risk and gain the rewards. This is perhaps the best job you can get – one that you create for yourself. It is also true that many people in paid employment are looking for additional income-generating opportunities and aren’t quite sure how or where to start.

JarusHub is actively working to create opportunities for those interested in starting their own businesses. As part of this programme, we created the Internet and Social Media Opportunities Masterclass and 1-day Workshop.

Now, we are also offering a free seminar on a business we have researched to be genuine, requires little capital and is rewarding for those who are dedicated and hardworking to start and run it for themselves.

I think some of the traders knew ahead of time, they were removing some of their roofs and items on Monday. The demolition was quite swift, wondering what the government plans to do with the place.

Be a part of this great event. Tomorrow is the D-day!

....

JARUSHUB NETWORKING SATURDAY (JNS) was conceived out of the need to build a community of professionals that interact and share career and business information in Nigeria.

This is an avenue for professionals, entrepreneurs, unemployed graduates as well as youth corps members to come and interact and get to know one another.

It is a social-cum-professional event. Attendees will have opportunity to interact and exchange information that will be helpful to their personal and career goals.

The event is semi-freestyle and it will basically involve attendees chatting informally on just any issue (you’re free to even discuss football – you never know what topic will attract the other party to you). At every event, a GUEST PROFESSIONAL (GP) will be invited to discuss in ten minutes his career and lessons participants can learn from it. Our Guest Professional for this edition is from the Oil & Gas industry.

It’s easier to go onto big things when you’ve worked in consulting

What happens when you decide you don’t want to work in banking or consulting any more? If you work in consulting, you can always go off and become a senior executive in the sector you’ve been consulting in. McKinsey says 450 of its former consultants are currently running ‘billion dollar organizations’ around the world. They include Tidjane Thiam, the new CEO of Credit Suisse and James Gorman at Morgan Stanley. By comparison, swapping out of banking can be more of a challenge.



The best people from investment banking go into private equity or event driven hedge funds. Sometimes they go into corporates to work for ‘in-house deal teams.’ But there are often more people who want to swap out of banking than there are places for them. Interestingly, it seems very easy to go from banking into consulting and less easy to move in the opposite direction. Publicly available profiles suggest that 144 people at Goldman Sachs previously worked for McKinsey & Co, but that 285 people at McKinsey & Co. previously worked for Goldman Sachs. Similarly, 63 people at Goldman used to work for Bain & Co, but 96 people at Bain used to work for Goldman.



If you’re smart therefore, maybe you’ll start out in investment banking and then move into consulting as your career progresses. That way you’ll be able to sample both worlds. And if you still can’t decide? I suggest you watch this.

Consulting is all about Powerpoints and presentations, banking is all about Excel modelling and pitch books.


How about the work itself? Junior bankers in IBD spend their lives creating financial models in Excel and pitch books in Powerpoint. Consultants, meanwhile, spend their time creating diagrammatic models and Powerpoint presentations. The key difference is therefore financial modelling in particular and finance in general. Junior bankers devote their time to studying the value of a company and its capital structure; junior consultants think about the strategy of a company and its organizational structure.

investment banking1

In theory, life as a consultant should be more fulfilling as consultants actually get to implement the recommendations they make, but one ‘executive transitioner’ who works with consultants moving into other industries says consultants get frustrated with the endless presentations and limited opportunities put their ideas into practice (a bit like junior bankers who put together endless pitchbooks for M&A deals that never happened). For this reason, he says they often move out of consulting and into management roles in industry instead.



The ex-McKinsey consultant-turned banker says life in consulting can be interesting due to the sheer variety of projects. On the other hand, the executive transitioner says some junior consultants get staffed across a broad range of projects managed by a range of different partners just to keep them interested, and that this can be come a struggle in itself.

The consulting lifestyle can be a turn-off.

The big downer about consulting is the lifestyle. If you work in banking you’ll commute in and out of your office on Wall Street, in New Jersey, or in the City of London every day. Yes, you might have to do a lot of travelling if you’re in a senior client-facing position, but if you’re a junior M&A banker or a trader you’ll mostly be glued to your screen at the mother-ship. By comparison, if you work in consulting the travel is immediate. And it’s relentless.



The ‘McKinsey Client Model’ involves, ‘Monday to Thursday at the client site and Fridays in your home office,” according to one McKinsey employee. That client office could be nearby, or it could be hundreds of miles away. If it’s hundreds of miles away, you’ll spend your weeknights in a faceless hotel. “The travel is a killer – you’re on the road non-stop unless you get a plush home city assignment,” says the ex-McKinsey consultant who now works in banking.

The hours are longer in banking, but in consulting you’ll often be away from home during the week.

The hours you work in banking will depend upon the area you go into. If you go into sales and trading you can expect very early mornings but clearly defined ends to your day as markets close. If you go into IBD (M&A or capital markets), the hours are much more protean: 100 hour working weeks are not unheard of, and non-banking friends tend to fade away as weekends and holidaysare consumed by the demands of the job. The hours are tough in consulting too. Don’t forget that if you work as a consultant you can spend your weeks ‘on the road’ (see below), miles away from home.



The ex-consultant we spoke to said weeknights are often a killer in consulting jobs – you’re lucky to get in by 10pm. Unlike in IBD, however, consulting work rarely impinges upon the weekend. Banks are trying to address the hours issue. Credit Suisse, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are among those to have introduced policies ensuring that IBD bankers get some weekend time off every month. They’re also taking on more juniors so that the people they do hire don’t have to work so hard. Bank of America, for example, is said to have hired 40% more analysts and associates in 2014 than it did the year before.



Consultancy firms are alert to the hours issue too. Boston Consulting Group has been implementing a policy known as ‘Predictable Time Off’ for the past five years. Under this policy, consultants at the firm are assigned ‘predictable periods’ of downtime at the start of a project. During these periods, BCG consultants are required to be off completely – they mustn’t check their email and they mustn’t check their voicemail. Meanwhile, McKinsey & Co introduced flexible work programmes a few years ago (as detailed in this report) – employees there can now take blocks of unpaid leave between projects, work three or four days a week, or take a leave of absence for up to a year.

But you’re less likely to lose your job in consulting.

This brings us to the second point: job security. Your chances of having a 15-20 year career in consulting look a lot higher than your chances of having a 15-20 year career in banking. Take McKinsey & Co. Between 1994 and 2001, it went from 3,300 consultants globally to 7,700. As of December 2014, it had 19,000 staff globally, or which around 9,000+ were consultants. In other words, headcount in consulting just seems to rise and rise. While firms like McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group are quick to advocate cost cutting in other industries, their own staff seem fairly secure.



Investment banking headcount has a tendency to oscillate wildly and is on a long term downwards trajectory in major financial cities. However, guess who helps banks deal with the cost and regulatory pressures that make them cut people? That’s right, consultants. Even when banking jobs are being cut, consultants still have plenty to get on with. Banking therefore looks like the more risky career option – You might get paid more, but it might not last.

Investment Banking pays more, especially in the short term.

The London Business School sends around 32% of its MBA graduates into strategy consulting and around 28% of its MBA graduates into finance. Helpfully, it records just how much its MBAs earn in those sectors. Guess what? Finance pays more – especially when it comes to the year-end bonus.



However, one ex-McKinsey consultant who now works in investment banking says that if you play a long game in consulting, you’re likely to come out on top of the bankers. Sure – in the first ten years of your consulting career, he says you’d almost certainly earn more as a banker. “But once you reach MD-level in an investment bank, compensation starts to plateau,” he tells us. “In banking, you can be subject to volatility, both from the market and personal performance.

consulting banking

Meanwhile, consultants are on a consistent trend upwards.” While banking pay is plateauing, he says compensation at places like McKinsey only really kicks in at the senior partner level: “Take median compensation 15-20 year veterans, and I bet consultants at McKinsey or BCG would come out on top of bankers.” This may be true: senior partners in consulting firms earn $1m+.

***
Investment banking and strategy consulting are like Antigua and the Grenadines: both attract the elite (or at “insecure, deeply left-brain, hyper-intellectual, OCD over-achievers,” in the words of one ex-McKinsey director). If you want to get in you’ll need a sack stuffed with academic achievements and accolades and a résumé filled with the right sorts of extracurricular activities. And as both investment banker and consultant you’ll be paid well, will operate at the ‘highest levels’ and will work considerably more hours than your friends in other industries.



This is not to say that banking and consulting are equivalent careers though. Like Antigua and the Grenadines, they have their differences. And those differences are fairly substantial. If you’re toying with a career in consulting or a career in banking, here’s how to decide which is best for you.
