Why this topic matters
Consulting firms expect candidates to understand the business they are applying to join, and interviewers quickly notice those who don't. Knowing how the industry works, what types of projects consultants deliver and which skills firms look for helps you give convincing answers to "Why consulting?" and target the right firms and roles. It also lets you judge whether the career suits you before you invest months in preparation
