in plain words do consultants do.
i have a firm interest in the financial markets but i quite like the idea of consultancy.
Lets just say i get a job with a firm straight out of college, what contributions will i make to the team.
I find it hard but maybe its just ignorance, but how does someone around 24/5yrs tell a 40+ senior manager how to run his company. by the way what do these projects typically entail? |

Nobody who's been through consulting speaks plain English. While our clients often have their own corporate dictionaries and acronymn lists, they have to learn to translate what we say into English.
But seriously, go out and read the websites of the big firms whose names you see on this board, read the vault profiles, read Maister's "The Trusted Advisor," read "The McKinsey Way," then come back in a week and ask a specific question. In consulting, that's called "leveraging my time."
