How do I break out in management consulting?

Whenever I try to find information about consulting online, it's usually in reference to tax/audit consulting specifically, which isn't what I'm hoping to do. Instead, I want to do management consulting. While I have plenty of experiences in leadership outside of the working world, I've rarely had an opportunity to manage others in my career so far. Do I need a few years of management experience coming out to school to really be a viable consultant? Or would potential internship experience and my education be enough for me to start at an entry-level at a consulting firm?

How do I create professional relationships with alumni from my school?

I am a Senior at a finance school in NYC, finishing up my BBA in Economics and have a job in an Education company focused on Mergers and Acquisitions and some Operations as a part time. I am planning to work towards a MBA in 5 or so more years after I get more experience under me, for a end goal of working in Financial Consulting at MBB. I know the importance of networking and expanding my professional relationships and have done a good job doing so at work, however I am struggling to leverage my school ties to professionals in the field that I have never met. What advice do you have for me in terms of leveraging past alumni connections and how do I approach creating and maintaining a meaningful professional relationship with them

How can I break into the sports management agency field without prior internship experience Most entry-level positions and networking opportunities seem to require it, and I'm struggling to secure one. What are some alternative strategies or less conventional paths I can take to demonstrate my skills and passion and get my foot in the door? Any advice on building connections and gaining relevant experience outside of traditional internships would be greatly appreciated.?

I'm a senior at Baruch College studying Operations Management and Consulting. I took an antitrust law class covering the NCAA and NIL really sparked my interest in the legal and business side of sports, particularly athlete representation. My ultimate career goal is to help both professional and amateur athletes achieve their goals on the field while also setting them up for long-term success off the field. I'm drawn to the idea of combining my business acumen with a passion for sports to make a real difference in athletes' lives.

Former consultants - If you made the jump to industry after working in consulting, how did that work for you?

I am very excited to know that I'll be working as a strategy consultant soon after graduation! However, I am considering 'making the jump' to industry later on in life to work at a more specific company that aligns with the changes I'd like to see in the world. (My dream would be to work for a company focused on renewable energy, or plant based food systems!) For those that were able to make the transition from consulting to industry, how did that happen for you? Was that a goal for you, or did it occur naturally? How did your day to day differ? Do you ever think about going back to consulting? Thanks so much for your time <3 #Spring24

How do I break into the consulting world?

I am a 23 year old from the United States finishing my Masters degree in International Business Management in France at Grenoble Ecole de Management. Although I am in a Masters program, it is still very difficult to break into the consulting world. I tried searching for mentorship programs at some of the top consulting firms, but from what I have seen, they are only offering these programs to people with diverse backgrounds, which I do not have. Any tips for improving my resume or any free online courses that you may know of would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

In consulting, do you have to get your own clients?

Hi I'm a first year college student and I'm considering consulting as a career or advisory such as financial planner. But I do NOT like reaching out to people and the idea of trying to get clients on my own. Is this the only way to get clients or do some firms do that for you? Thank you

What is the best advice for a sophomore hoping to become a management consultant??

I have always wanted to go into consulting, and so I joined a few business clubs on campus, and have researched different firms. I am not sure where to go from here though. If you were a sophomore in college wanting to go into the field, where would you go from here? Is it important to specifically choose one field of consulting, or should I keep it more broad? How do I know which skills they will be looking for in interviews?
