Challenge Advisory consultants come from a wide variety of backgrounds. People with bachelor’s degrees typically join our firm as business analysts, also known as fellows in some offices. Some stay for two or three years before attending graduate school or gaining further work experience. Others are invited to stay at Challenge Advisory and move directly into an associate role.
People with MBAs or other advanced professional degrees (JD, MD, PhD, or nonbusiness master’s degree) typically join as associates. Most consultants join initially as generalists, working across a broad range of industries and functions. Others join as practice consultants, working primarily in a particular function or sector.
We also look for experienced professionals from a variety of fields and professions, whether you work in finance, government, engineering, law, the military, medicine, or manufacturing. Experienced professionals join Challenge Advisory in a wide range of roles. People with bachelor’s degrees and a few years of experience might join as business analysts, associates, or specialists. Seasoned professionals—those with extensive work experience—might join as associates, specialists, experts, or in more senior consulting roles.
