Careers

Consulting is considered as one the most popular and prestigious industries to work in, a feat which is confirmed year after year by several surveys, in particular among graduates and young professionals. The industry thanks its appeal to an array of factors, ranging from the variety of projects worked on (across sectors and functional areas) to the steep learning curve, working in teams, professional development opportunities and the satisfaction that consultants derive from high-impact work. And last but not least: competitive salary packages.

The ‘Career’ chapter guides readers through all relevant aspects of working in consulting. The chapter commences with the industry basics: a definition of the consulting industry and the consultant role, followed by information on what a consultant actually does and an overview of the different types of consultants active in the landscape.
