just a innocuous question but how can someone just out of college do "management" consulting? What can they be consulting about? Seriously, that must just be a title masking some other duties.

I've always found "consulting" to be a total load of bullshit. What does that even mean? I know consultants, but that's mostly just the type of employment they have, not their duties. I do know one Management Consultant or whatever and she does actually basically bullshit for a huge corp that has tons of money to throw around. Good for her for making dough, but jesus it's just such a ridiculous racket because she doesn't actually DO anything.


but what could a person just out of college know that management needs to be consulted about? Maybe they're like an administrative assistant or something similar?


They are on a consulting team and likely doing the financial analysis, or market analysis, or programming or whatever. They are not advising the CEO just yet. Many consulting projects are large and require a big team and lots of grunt work. They may be in the office or at the client site. I am a management consultant and started this way. Now I do advise top management.

McKinsey, Accenture, Ernst & Young, KPMG... hire consultants out of undergrad (and with MBA). Not sure how much starting, but I bet out of the right school could be $85k

I'm sure they learned a fair amount of bullshit framework stuff in their business classes. People are such suckers.

Yep. From what I saw UPenn liberal arts grads had no trouble getting corporate jobs including consulting and investment banking bc overall recruiting at the school is so strong. Different story for kids I knew with English degrees from Millersville, Bucknell and Bloomsburg.
