prepping for consulting role
In know this question has been asked before, but i want to know in this post-covid world with AI, what is the best way to prep for a consulting role out of undergrad? any books, websites, podcasts etc.
sincerely, a nervous incoming consultant.
In this post-COVID world, prepping for a consulting role out of undergrad requires a mix of traditional preparation and adapting to new trends like AI. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s how you can prepare effectively:
1. Skillset Boost
2. Stay Updated
3. Books & Resources
4. Networking
5. Mindset & Preparation
By combining these strategies, you’ll be well-prepared to excel in your consulting role. And remember, even seasoned consultants are navigating this new AI-driven world, so stay curious and proactive!

Please please please take an excel course. You will learn to make good pages on the job (and you can’t really prep in advance because firms have custom macros and shortcuts), but excel is the same everywhere. Have been appalled by how many really smart consultants can’t use excel to save their lives, and it is often poorly taught (if at all) in training at many firms
