It seems like management consulting professionals never quite 
escape the plight of being candidates. On average, consultants 
seem to apply for new jobs every 3 to 4 years; thus never really 
escaping the interview process.
The reasons for moving from one position to the next are 
numerous. Fulfillment, of course, is at the top of the list, closely 
followed by financial rewards and recognition.

Make Your Move for the Right 
Decisions
In an industry as volatile as this one, making decisions for the right 
reasons is of the utmost importance. Weigh up the pros and cons of 
moving jobs before you commit – you need to be sure that you’re doing 
right by yourself.
Figuring out your reasons behind the move will enable you to find the 
right firm for you as a management consulting professional. Take enough 
time to search for firms that fit in with your values and goals. As a 
management consultant you cannot afford to become a part of a 
company that isn’t a good fit: it’s bad for the company and for you.
Consider your position before making a move as well. If you’re higher up

to make yourself an asset. Your success depends largely on your 
ability to maximise your own chances of success, rather than hoping 
that the right company will do it for you.
Your achievements are important when searching for a better job. 
Make sure you’re armed with facts and stats that bolster your value. 
Consultants have a fairly serious level of responsibility, and your new 
firm will want to know that you are capable of tackling the challenge.
