So, what do consultants do at a high-level?

A consultant is someone that works with clients to solve specific business problems. A consultant can work by themself as an independent consultant or work for a consulting firm that employs many consultants.

Consulting firms typically deploy consultants in teams of 4 to 6 people to work on a given project. There is typically one manager that leads the day to day work and a few analysts and consultants that work underneath them. A consulting partner provides high level guidance to the team by leveraging their expertise in a particular industry or function.

The projects that consultants work on take anywhere from a few months to a few years, although 3 to 9 months is typically the average project duration.

The business problems that consultants solve can be almost any type of problem. There are many different types of consulting including: strategy or management consulting, operations consulting, IT or technology consulting, financial consulting, and human resources consulting.
