Consulting

Consulting is ideal for rigorous problem-solvers.

Consulting is a versatile career that will enable you to work in a range of industries and for different clients. It is a growth industry, with companies in every sector keen on more targeted solutions to their business challenges.

The most important skills for a consulting career are the ability to think in a structured way and good interpersonal skills. If you like tackling a problem from A to Z, but are also enthused by getting down in the nitty gritty of designing solutions yourself, then consulting might be for you. A common misperception is that you need advanced quantitative skills. These are helpful, but generally not vital, and the best consulting firms actively look to hire people from a range of backgrounds.
