As doctoral students approach graduation, they often consider opportunities to apply their analytical skills in consulting companies. This path can provide intellectual challenges and opportunities for creative thinking, and may be more attainable, secure and lucrative than an academic or research career. While there are some common threads which characterize the fabric of consulting, there are many kinds of consulting firms with varying implications for subject matter, work atmosphere and lifestyle. I present categories which may be used to distinguish among consulting firms, and to help graduating students determine which firms and positions they would find appropriate and appealing. I address issues of lifestyle choices, remuneration and incentive packages, and industry trends which affect the consulting work environment. Using my own experience as an example, I discuss how to identify commercially-relevant skills and present them to firms which may be unused to hiring highly-skilled candidates with non-traditional backgrounds.
