Balancing social impact and personal career growth is difficult. It’s easier to do with community support. Our members are challenged, encouraged, and immersed in the latest thinking on how to optimize your career for good.
A standard career has 80,000 hours, and a consultant’s likely has more. That’s why it’s so important to choose our work wisely. We provide current, former, and prospective consultants with 1:1 career coaching and career planning resources. We can help you think through critical career planning during a personalized career conversation.
QUESTIONS WE CAN HELP YOU THINK THROUGH:
- Should I go into consulting now if I want to use my career for social good?
- How can I have a positive impact and preserve my altruistic values while working at a large corporate consulting firm?
- Now that I’m ready to leave consulting, which career paths might be a good fit for me?
What we do with our careers matters. Our members are united in our shared belief that intentional, evidence-based decision-making is the best way to improve the world.
The same critical thinking that is a hallmark of best-in-class consulting can be used to make AI safer, protect the vulnerable, prevent pandemics, and reduce climate risk. Together, we take on the world’s greatest challenges and support each other along the way. Learn more about what you can do to make a real difference.
