Consulting

Description

Companies are exposed to tough selection pressure, which makes dynamic processes and re-structuring necessary. Consultancies specialise in identifying these potentials and introducing appropriate measures for optimisation. In addition to expertise in economics and law, computer science or mathematics, this often requires competences in the humanities. The basic skills of management consultants include strong communication skills, management qualities, the willingness to work a heavy workload and regular business trips at home and abroad.

Salary

Depending on the employment relationship, one earns significantly more in management consultancy than employees in the public sector with a comparable degree and professional experience. However, the salary is often performance-related.

Fixed-term contract

Unlike in employment relationships at state universities or research organisations, a permanent contract is usually concluded after a six-month probationary period.

Application

The exact application modalities can be found in the calls for applications. As a rule, a multi-stage application procedure is used (often including an Assessment Centre).
