    If you watched this video and thought, "Hey, maybe I would like to be a management consultant but I didn't get a business degree from a prestigious school", I have some great news for you. Those degrees are wonderful but I have been in consulting for quite some time now and consultants come from all sorts of backgrounds! One of the consultants on the team that I manage has a degree in biology from Kansas State. I have worked with people with degrees in psychology, horticulture, history - just about anything from any school. The consulting firms do have dedicated recruiters for certain schools and certain degrees but that does not stop YOU from reaching out to the company and applying! It doesn't matter if you went to an Ivy League and got a business degree or if you went to college online (maybe not University of Phoenix or Kaplan - those are just diploma mills but so long as it was a "real" school), if you want to be a consultant, just make sure that you sell yourself on your resume! (The MD on my project dropped out of community college after one year and never even finished a degree!) The bottom line is that anybody with the desire can do this. It doesn't take a special degree. If you want to be a consultant, you surely can.

    hello Taylor, very bold attitude to talk about management consultancy on youtube without saying for which company are you working, anyway it does not matter, in the end, all these companies have the same approach and mentality. as for me, having more than 5 years of experience in strategy&management consultancy, I enjoyed a lot learning but not only about methods/way of working but also about human relations, interpersonal relations building, sincerity, transparency, and so on. my little advice to you would be: do not be so idealistic about what you are doing, never give up your life principles and sincerity. greetings from Paris :)

    Like some other people I also got into consulting by accident... did two years with an implementation heavy company and now moving to more strategy/process improvement starting next month. I will say that you don't typically move around too much at least in implementation. They see what you're good at and then you're stuck with a client that keeps renewing you and won't let you go! Hope strategy doesn't do that to you! The traveling bit was the best part for me esp in my early 20s... but now I don't see things being like they used to be. No way a client is going to pay for travel when pandemic WFH worked out just fine. Most I see is once a month maybe twice.

      Both have their pros and cons like everything in life, just depends on how you look at it. I'm grateful for both experiences, but I like where I'm at now. I have since moved back to Chicago and I'm the Treasury Manager at a Human Capital Management company.

    I work for a top 300 US firm (more in the accounting & taxes/CPA realm) and we've seen a big shift from just preparing information, to actually consulting with our clients on how to more efficiently plan around federal taxation and business development. Not exactly management consulting, but it shows just how big the consulting field can span over! Great vid! :D

    It's very interesting you get into a top tier strategy consulting firm without any consulting internships. I guess that's what Wharton does to a CV, but mindblowing nevertheless. In Germany, you'd need at least an internship at a similar firm to even get into the pool of candidates, they want their consultants to have experience before sending their CV to customers and request large sums for their hours.

It's more if you have a problem solving mentality and work well in teams :) And absolutely-- a ton of top business execs started as consultants.
