Consulting - why?

Basically we are doing research into what consulting firms need to do more of to get the top grads to apply to them and make sure that they are actually addressing what we want from the job/company esp now COVID has hit and we want to see what our Generation would actually value

(see link in bio)

And if you have any other comments or want to chat about any of the 'realities' of consulting just shout, definitely happy to help anyone if they want insights into consulting

Hey StrategyConsulting123, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I am sad to say, but this thread is lonely, so thought I'd post in here to try and help out. Some potential topics that might help:

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.

I can comment as an intern who’s about to be full time in august. Consulting is one of two six figure business careers for non technical undergrads (the other being Wall Street). It’s best to compare it to banking and highlight the optionality it gives. MBB alumni include Netanyahu, mayor Pete, and even John Legend. Many kids my age don’t really know what they want to do with the rest of their career and consulting is the perfect training ground to pursue anything after. While financiers use leverage and take on a high level of risk, consultants are always in demand regardless of economic conditions. Finally, business school sponsorship is huge.
