Vast majority say 'meaningful impact' is why they seek consulting career
A whopping 87 percent of Protiviti's interns this year say that an "opportunity to work regularly with different clients on dynamic issues and have a meaningful impact on their organizations" is the main reason they are attracted to a career in consulting. And one third—67 percent—of respondents say it's the "diversity of career paths within the industry" that attracted them to the profession.
The survey, in which respondents were permitted to choose all that apply when answering questions, was completed by 69 of the firm's 90 interns. It's the first effort in what will become an annual venture, says Jim Pajakowski, Executive Vice President at Protiviti.
