About this title

Synopsis

In this newest installment to the Case In Point brand, aspiring and current consultants can gain valuable insights, guidance, and information that will prepare them for various stages in their career. As Marc Cosentino shares in the Foreword, “For the last 30 years Case In Point has been focused on preparing students and industry hires to get jobs in consulting. And for the most part, we’ve been incredibly successful, sending thousands of people into top consulting firms across the globe. What we didn’t think about was what happens once they get hired. It’s a different strategy and mindset once you’ve entered that world.”

In Case In Point: Crafting Your Consulting Career, Evan Piekara distills information garnered over his years in the industry by sharing anecdotes, insights gained through hundreds of informational interviews, and wisdom from nearly 20 consultants who have had to navigate countless critical decisions throughout their careers. This digestible, reader-friendly guide provides timeless lessons for consultants, no matter their career stage.

This book provides frameworks, thoughtful considerations, and expert insights on the 45 most common questions that Piekara has received from consultants at various stages in their careers.

How do you position yourself for a career in consulting?

How do you select the right firm, industry, and domain?

How do you identify mentors who will coach you along the way (and be a great mentor yourself)?

How do you prepare for performance reviews?

What are the essential steps for creating a lasting client relationship?

What opportunities exist beyond consulting and how can I leverage my consulting experience to explore other avenues?

No matter where you are in your career, this book will help!
