Why do you want to make a career in consulting?

Here is my answer:

Fast-paced, dynamic and exciting...These are the three words that first strike my mind when I think of consulting. One of the factors that motivate me is the satisfaction of making an important difference in business and creates an impact. And I think Consulting is that position.

Prior to joining Management Consulting, I had interacted with a few of my friends who are in Consulting and all of them have one thing to say “Consulting is challenging but a highly reward profession”. It will offer one the opportunity to regularly help others with their individual or business concerns

While deciding on a career choice on completion of my MBA, I was looking forward to a certain set of qualities in my job.

Highly interesting work: I yearn to do something that is not only exciting but also meaningful for business and society. Working with X who have diverse projects will give me an opportunity to do that.

Work with very intelligent and articulate people: It is no secret that the consulting industry consists some of the brightest and the smartest people in the industry. They are people who are talented, creative and have the ability to find solutions to problems and help the client.

Learning curve never ends: It is a demanding environment with a steep and constant learning curve, but supportive colleagues also make it an incomparable opportunity for personal growth

Exposure to many interesting industries

Exposure to working with the senior management at an early state for the way they think, act and analyze the problems.
