Identify the recruiting track
Check whether you are applying through an undergraduate, specialized master's, MBA or experienced-hire route. Associate does not mean the same level at every firm.
Consulting
Look beyond the consultant title.
For students who want to solve business problems with analysis, technology or structured reasoning. Generalist, analytics and implementation tracks can draw on overlapping skills while recruiting differently.
Is this a useful direction for you?
Undergraduates and master's students researching consulting internships and graduate routes. An MBA or advanced-degree track may have different eligibility from the undergraduate route.
- Structured problem solving
- Quantitative business analysis
- Clear written and verbal synthesis
- Technical skills for specialist teams
These are preparation themes, not universal hiring requirements. Use the official posting to confirm the skills, degree and experience required for each role.
Before you apply
Three decisions to make first.
Check office and practice rules
Visa language can differ between offices, practices and programs. A firm's general policy must be read together with the vacancy's own restrictions.
Use skills without flattening the job
An analytics consultant may need SQL or Python; a functional consultant may focus on systems and clients. Review the work, language and travel requirements.
