GSAS students have a long history of being interested in nonacademic careers, yet it can still be hard to find like-minded students. Consider joining a student group that suits your career interests, both to help you learn more about a field of interest and to meet other students who share your career goals. If you don’t find one that suits your interests, consider starting one!
The goals of the Graduate Student Consulting Club are to help graduate students explore careers in management consulting; give members the chance to interact with leading consulting firms; offer support in interview preparation; and participate in pro bono projects around campus and in Cambridge.
