Why it’s worth going

Consulting offers finance and business students exposure to diverse industries and business challenges while building analytical and problem-solving skills highly valued across sectors. This fair provides access to firms that typically have rigorous, early recruiting timelines, making September a critical month for securing first-round interviews. Consulting experience is particularly valuable for students considering MBA programs or pivoting between industries, as it provides broad business exposure that complements specialized accounting or finance skills.

Going in prepared

Practice articulating case study frameworks and be ready to discuss how you approach unstructured business problems, as consulting recruiters often engage in informal case discussions even at recruitment fairs. Research which firms will be attending and prepare specific questions about their practice areas, client types, and training programs to demonstrate genuine interest. Bring a portfolio of your best analytical work or business projects if possible, as consulting recruiters value evidence of structured thinking and communication skills.
