Our Aims

The aim of the Consulting Society is to provide a gateway to one of the most highly sought-after careers post graduation. Here are just a few reasons why consulting is popular:

• It provides the opportunity to face challenging, fulfilling, and impactful work in the world’s largest companies.
• Great compensation. Starting salary for a junior consultant is anywhere from £30k-£40k depending on the firm. That’s excluding and benefits and a sign on bonus. This year Accenture were offering a £10k sign on bonus.
• World-class training on leadership, management and engagement, and personal development. Certain firms will even pay to send you to the top business schools in the world.
• Great career trajectory. Consultants work with the world's top companies leading to great relationships and extensive knowledge on different industries. The training provided set up consultants with the experience and network to start graduate schools or embark on exciting new careers. McKinsey, the global management consultancy firm, is known to many as the CEO factory, and Forbes calls it the best launch pad into top executive positions for the world’s largest companies.
• Other benefits also consist of wide variety of projects, intellectual stimulation, the chance to work for industry leading clients, exposure to wide array of industries and functions and global travel opportunities.

Moreover, consulting is not specific to options or degrees. Whether you are an Economics major or an English Literature Major, you still have the opportunity. Here are just some of the benefits we hope to give members:

• The chance to learn more about consulting.
• The opportunity to develop transferable skills and build up your resume and interviewing skills and receive one-on-one feedback from consultants.
• Meeting with the right consultants to build meaningful relationships in numerous networking events and socials.
• Developing the right skills with the right tools and receive the right preparation to interview and get jobs with the top consulting firms.
• Internship opportunities through concoctions to the industry.
• A developed network of students applying for positions to practice case and behavioural interviews.
• Learn and understand how to incorporate your knowledge in a business context.
• And a bit of FUN!
  

Of course all of the skills you develop will be greatly beneficial to any job you pursue even if you decide consultancy isn’t your thing. So JOIN! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
