Consulting Careers

Graduate students spend years sharpening their problem-solving skills as they tackle the inevitable obstacles that crop up during the research process. Some, it turns out, enjoy this problem-solving process so much that they go on to make it their life’s work as consultants. While some have launched careers with big three management consulting firms, others have sought out boutique consulting work, and still others have founded their own consulting firms. One even founded Duke’s consulting club for doctoral students, now called Duke Advanced degree Consulting Club (DACC).
