PhD2Consulting Information

Traditionally, management consultancies hired almost exclusively MBAs. McKinsey & Co. was one of the first to recognize the importance of a more diverse skill and experience set and they opened up their recruiting to other advanced postgraduate degree holders (APDs). Other leading strategy consultancies such as Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Bain & Co. soon followed suit. Now there are many attractive opportunities for Ph.D. holders in management consulting. But this is not to say that it is easy to secure those opportunities. Recruiting in management consulting is HIGHLY competitive and only the most well-prepared and high performing candidates receive an offer. Our task with this website and our associated social media channels is to give you everything you need to start from Ph.D. student or graduate (with or without knowledge of the management consulting industry) to guide you through to the management consulting career of your dreams.
