For consulting, it's best to keep your resume formatted in a standard, clean, and professional way rather than adopting the deal-specific formatting used in banking. Consulting firms value clarity and structure, so focus on presenting your experience in a way that highlights problem-solving, analytical skills, and leadership.

If your banking experience includes deal work, you can still include it, but frame it in terms of the skills and impact rather than the technical deal details. For example, emphasize aspects like financial analysis, teamwork, or client interaction, which are transferable to consulting. Avoid overly technical jargon that might not resonate with consulting recruiters.
