This year's black swan epidemic inevitably affected and impacted the consulting industry. Every time there is a major crisis, most enterprises reduce the consulting service fee first, because consulting service is not the most urgent and needed thing, so the consulting industry will inevitably be affected and impacted by the epidemic. Under the impact, the old business cycle is prolonged, the development of new business is suspended, the cash flow is tight, and the income of consultants is reduced, all of which have hit the recruitment enthusiasm of consulting companies. For example, some global consulting companies at the head of the industry have stopped promotion and salary reduction since the outbreak of the epidemic. In May and June, when the global epidemic became more and more serious, consulting companies began to lay off employees one after another. According to public information, Deloitte has laid off about 7,500 employees worldwide, PricewaterhouseCoopers Australia will lay off 400 employees, and a Tier/KLOC-0 company that has no projects in the Asia-Pacific region will stop paying directly, and China will also start to lay off employees. ?
Many small local consulting companies have also suffered a devastating blow, and many of them cannot go bankrupt directly. It can be said that the epidemic is directly leading to the accelerated reshuffle of the consulting industry. At the same time, local consulting companies with deep moat like CUHK Consulting are also recruiting against the trend to prepare talents for industry recovery. ?
Q 1: how can I enter the consulting industry?
The number and types of projects in consulting industry have obvious periodicity, so recruitment also has obvious periodicity. The peak seasons of consulting companies are spring and autumn respectively, so the beginning of the year and early autumn are also the peak recruitment periods of consulting industry.
If you want to enter the consulting industry, you should practice case interviews in the short term and pay attention to the accumulation of learning ability and comprehensive quality (the most important thing is logical ability) in the long term. Consulting companies pay more attention to basics and it is not difficult to teach; What you learn in school is generally not needed except basic skills.
It is suggested that freshmen give a demonstration. If the school is not above 2 1 1, prepare for the written test.

Work intensity: I travel for about 11 months a year, usually taking a day off every week for the project, sometimes endlessly. If you don't work overtime at night, you will have a holiday. The work intensity will be great. But correspondingly, the harvest and growth will be very fast, basically reaching three years for Party A in one year. It depends on your personal choice.
