I personally hate Financial Services.... but some people love it.
Entertainment or Media would probably be right up there for me.
Depends on what your interests are, obviously.
I like financial services, especially these days, and dislike industrials and oil&gas. It depends also on the topic of the project - for example, I find org boring to death in any industry.
I find life sciences (or the biopharma + med devices aspect of healthcare) interesting. I've not worked much for payers/providers/systems.
Oil & Gas for efficiency...they're so intensive in big projects and keeping up / expansion there are huge opportunities to improve the area.
Heatlthcare when working on improving patient care because it feels pretty noble, and a sense of really making a difference.
At the end of the day, it's the type of project more than the industry usually.
I really like retail because it's so tangible; least interesting was financial services, and I will never do pharma.
id say the most interesting is tech and media/telecom. provider care is really boring work, life sciences is ridiculous (especially pharma...have you ever made a value driver tree for a pharmaceutical? it is beyond insane), financial services i found to be boring as well since a lot of the work is around IT and risk. oil and energy i would imagine is interesting.
I only have experience with government and healthcare. But I'm a transit and infrastructure nerd, I can't wait to sink my teeth into an engagement related to something like that
Interesting industries/spaces to experience growth (Originally Posted: 09/03/2012)
What industries or spaces do you think are interesting that will probably experience consistent growth in the next five to ten years? E.g. Dog Daycare/Boarding, small waste management companies, shale oil in Ohio, etc.
Contactless payment - chip manufacturers who can integrate this with Wifi + Bluetooth.
