Send us a text Getting a role in management consulting is never easy, but it becomes even more difficult in an economic downturn. But one thing that has stayed true throughout the periods of repressed economic growth: consulting firms almost never stop hiring. They might slow down. They might delay start dates. They may even do layoffs. But they rarely ever completely stop. Nevertheless, we are in a period where many firms are hiring less than years prior. So how do you stand out in this environment?
