What is Strategy Consulting?
A career focused on solving the most pressing and challenging problems around the world.
“This is one of the few careers that will constantly challenge you and never fail to ignite your curiosity.”
The average day differs from each engagement, but most often requires strategy consultants to work in teams to help coach the client through the problem.
Early on in your career, much of the work will be focused on performing analysis (both quantitative and qualitative) on a specific piece of the engagement. As such, you may work on multiple clients, in a myriad of industries, across different geographies, all in one year.
