Is there a world beyond Mckinsey, BCG, AT Kearney, Bain & Company and Booz Allen when you talk of consulting? It's a resounding yes.
Ironically, most of us keep trying for these big firms and never even look for myriad other firms which are out there. Not to mention, these other firms are also established names in their own right and its just that they are recognized better for something else than consulting. Let's look at some of the familiar names:
IBM Business Consulting: IBM has a Business Consulting arm under its global services division. They claim to have expertise in Financial Management, Human Capital Management, CRM, Strategy and Supply Chain Management. They also have an extensive hiring program both for experienced professionals and university graduates (us!). For people interested in process reengineering and supply chain consulting, it might be one of the companies you should target for.
This is their careers page. There are lot of opportunities for fulltime regular job. Go through their requirements. Another point to note is that they prefer candidates having eliginility to work in the US. While most of us doesn't fit the bill but please do not get discouraged by these "prefer" statements. What you can work instead on is your GPA. Though they "prefer" 3.2 or higher, concentrate on the term "higher". And yes, it's out of 4. Having an engineering background helps and a technical experience is even better.
Keane: Keane, Inc. is one of the world’s leading providers of business and IT services. Specifically, they deliver business services that include business consulting, business process outsourcing, strategy, and program management services. They have operations in the United States, India, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Someone with a technical experience would find the company interesting and hopefully, the company does it as well. There is a current openings link on the careers page. Else, you can always send them your resume.
