IS A CAREER IN MANAGEMENT CONSULTING RIGHT FOR YOU

Listed below find a brief set of the most common questions that a prospective management consultant can honestly as themselves before committing to a career in management consulting.

Do you want to?
- Gain broad exposure in different areas of business
- Work in several different industries before making a decision to focus on just one
- Acquire basic business skills to meet your future goals, such as entering industry or entrepreneurship
- Take on significant amounts of responsibility in dynamic environments
- Develop a strong and diverse network

If you answered yes to all of the above then definitely go ahead. You will most likely be a successful management consultant.


Does this describe you?
- You are looking for a “glamorous” job but aren’t ready to work hard
- You have difficulty assuming responsibility and setting a direction for yourself
- You do not have strong analytical skills
- You want to work 40 hour weeks
- You do not like to travel!!

If this is you then management consulting is most probably not a good career choice for you.

Additional information on management consulting as a career is available in the book Consulting: A Job Or A Lifestyle – ISBN: 1598000640.
