Harvard GSAS Consulting Club - Life After Consulting Panel

Date & Time: Wednesday, January 20th from 6:30-8:00 PM

Location: Zoom Video Conferencing & Spatial Chat

RSVP: Below!

While more and more graduate students are considering a job in consulting after earning their advanced degrees, few people work as a consultant for their entire career; typically, the job is used as a stepping stone where consultants leverage the impressive networks they acquire to transition into a wide variety of other exciting career opportunities!

What are those opportunities? Interested in learning where a job in consulting can ultimately lead you?

After a very successful first run, the Harvard GSAS Consulting Club (HGCC) is bringing back our yearly Life After Consulting Panel! We are hosting a virtual panel with a wide variety of individuals who have earned their PhDs or other advanced degrees before working in consulting and ultimately transitioning into other positions, such as business development and VC. Please join us for an hour of panel discussion and Q&A from 6:30-7:30 PM followed by an interactive networking session over Spatial Chat from 7:30-8 PM.

We look forward to seeing you at the return of our newest panel, the Life After Consulting Panel! This year's LAC Panel will be on Wednesday, January 20th, 2021 from 6:30-8:00 PM, with the introductions and Q&A over Zoom followed by half an hour of an interactive networking session over SpatialChat....
