S13E7: 5 Keys for a Consulting Offer in an Economic Downturn Feb 23, 2024

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.

Nevertheless, we are in a period where many firms are hiring less than years prior. So how do you stand out in this environment? Today we’ll share 5 keys.

S9E20: How to Recruit Early for Consulting Through Early Recruiting Programs Feb 17, 2023

S1E9: Recession-Proof Resume Jun 05, 2020

A killer resume is needed to open doors in the best of times. In times like these - with the potential for fewer open positions and a glut of qualified applicants - the way you present yourself becomes doubly important.
One of the things you've told us is that you are thinking about how to pivot in the midst of an economic downturn.
So, we put together this podcast on the first step you should be taking: Building a Recession-Proof Resume.
Management Consulted launched in the midst of the Great Recession, and immediately began helping hundreds of candidates land competitive offers across consulting, banking, and tech (including folks who had consulting offers rescinded but took a longer-term approach to end up in consulting anyways).
We've honed our approach over the last 12 years, and can't wait to share our best tips, strategies, and advice with you - and, as always, to answer your questions.
You overachievers can check out our Ultimate Guide to Consulting Resumes after the episode.

S1E2: Disney & Uber Apr 22, 2020

Disney and Uber are two of the most well known brands in business today. Both are in a period of rapid transition; Disney is launching its eponymous streaming service (Disney+) and Uber is fighting battles on two fronts - against regulators wanting to classify its drivers as employees, and investors demanding a path to profitability.
Why are these two companies making the moves that they are? Much of it boils down to each business' primary cost model.
In this episode of Strategy Simplified, we peel back the layers of Disney and Uber's business models.

How would a McKinsey consultant approach the Coronavirus Crisis? This is a more prescient question than you might expect, as McKinsey is on the frontlines of helping the U.S., Italian, and other governments deal with issues wrought by coronavirus.
In this inaugural episode of Strategy Simplified, we sit down with ex-McKinsey consultant Lisa Bright, who walks us through how McKinsey would approach (and probably is approaching) complicated global challenges presented by COVID-19.
While many people have political or medical points of view, we work to integrate those into a simple strategy. What is the data saying? And what does it tell us about what we should do next?
