Management Consultancy
If you are considering a move into the sector with no prior consulting experience, you will be offered and expected to work across a broad range of industry and operational areas. Experienced consultants naturally move into an area of industry or operational specialisation, thus developing stronger networks both internally and externally and building their career prospects and market value.
Remuneration
There is a misconception within the job market that consultancies pay vastly more than companies in other industries. This is not the case for new entrants, although experienced consultants can earn significant amounts. Candidates must bear in mind that they will be balancing their starting salary against the 'name' of the employer organisation and the wealth of training that they will receive as a consultant in the future.
If you are moving into consultancy with no prior experience, you will be expected to go through a period of assimilation when your remuneration will be similar to that of your peers pursuing other career routes. Once you have gained a suitable level of expertise, you should see a significant rise.
