Veterans in Consulting: A guide to help military Veterans evaluate and pursue a career in Management Consulting
Management Consulting is the 5th largest industry for U.S. military Veterans. What is consulting and why might Active Duty military personnel and Veterans consider this as a career path?
This book is designed to answer that question. It provides critical insights based on a quantitative analysis of over 4,300 LinkedIn profiles of U.S. Military Veterans who have worked in the field of Management Consulting. It also shares advice and perspectives from over ten hours of qualitative interviews with U.S. Military Veterans who have worked in the field of Management Consulting.
The first part of this book covers the qualitative aspects of Management Consulting – what is Management Consulting, why might a Veteran like this career path, what sort of work do consultants do, and how does that work translates to a daily and weekly lifestyle. Using stories from a variety of Veterans who have pursued – and succeeded – in this career path, it also shows what Veterans need to know to prepare for and excel in the interview process.
The second portion of this book focuses on quantitative analysis, based on a statistical investigation of public profiles on LinkedIn. Among other aspects, it shows the average length of military service, civilian work experience, and amount of education Veterans have before working at ten of the top consulting companies in the world.
This book intends to provide U.S. Military Veterans with the information, tools, and advice necessary to identify, pursue, and succeed in their ideal civilian career. The goal of this book is not to convince you to pursue a career in consulting. Instead, it is designed to provide you with the knowledge to decide how this career path may align with your unique interests, desires, and skill set.
