Proactiveness. Consultants who get hired make themselves visible to target firms before the recruitment cycle begins. Waiting for job postings is the wrong approach.

• Start coffee chats with consultants at target firms well before application windows open, Boston professionals are accessible.
• Ask contacts whether they can share firm-specific case study resources. These are far more targeted than generic case study books.
• Apply to a broad range of firms: ClearView Healthcare Partners, IQVIA, LEK, Analysis Group, and boutiques, many open applications a full year before intake.
