Career Development

Your career advisor is a member of our management team and serves as a mentor as your career advances. Your career advisor helps you become your personal best, by maximizing your strengths and creating strategies that address your development areas.

Analysts and Consultants are staffed on one project at a time, which lasts an average of six to eight weeks. Project teams are composed of two to five staff members, ranging from Analyst to Partner. This structure gives Analysts and Consultants the opportunity to interact extensively with clients and gain exposure to senior staff.

Projects are assigned based on a few key factors. First and foremost is the client and project demand, followed by the experience the analyst or consultant needs to develop and grow his or her skills. All new hires are staffed on projects across the TMT industries and have the opportunity to develop expertise in strategy, marketing, finance, mergers and acquisitions, technology, and regulatory and operations disciplines.

To ensure a successful start, your onboarding will include several training sessions on consulting tools and TMT industry-specific knowledge.

Within your first year, you will deepen your knowledge through a 1-week off-site training with new consultants from all offices. You will get to know your peers, exchange knowledge and experiences, attend industry primers, and work on several case simulations.

That’s just the beginning: throughout the year, there are several training days that will enhance both your personal and professional skills.

At our regular meetings in every Altman Solon office, you will learn about current projects, see how internal processes are developing, and hear about current firm economics and initiatives.

Analysts and Consultants rapidly develop valuable expertise that opens many opportunities for them. Several Analysts stay with the firm to advance on to a Consultant role or attend a top business school. Other Analysts have gone on to a variety of exciting and challenging careers, such as becoming a Senior Strategy Analyst at a Fortune 500 firm or starting up a CleanTech practice.
