Question 3

How does SCG help with recruiting for consulting roles?

Accepted Answer

We support recruiting in a few key ways. Each year, we host a Chicago roadshow where members have the opportunity to visit companies and connect with alumni working in consulting and other business roles. We also have alumni at top firms who members can reach out to for networking and advice. On top of that, the real-world project experience and skills you gain through the club are directly applicable to interviews and case preparation.

Question 4

What does SCG look for in applicants? Is prior consulting experience required to join?

Accepted Answer

No prior consulting experience is required. We believe in having a team with a diversity of thought, passions, and backgrounds. We look for candidates who will be successful in our group and provide value in our client engagement teams. This means being a passionate problem-solver and having a curiosity to learn. Our members are effective communicators, critical thinkers, and embody the values of our organization.

Question 5

What does intergration into SCG look like?

Accepted Answer

We understand that not everyone who comes into SCG has a vast amount of experience in casing or consulting. We have talented leaders in our organization that will take you through our Business Analyst (BA) Bootcamp that will provide you with all the resources you will need to be successful. We expect our BA's to come in as engaged and curious to learn, which we believe will lead to success in our group.

I'm not professionally interested in consulting, is SCG still the right fit for me?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Although SCG is a consulting firm, we provide students with real world professional experiences. The skills you learn from being on various engagements and an active member of SCG are those that can be transferable to any industry. Many of our members have been able to land internships and jobs based on their experiences in SCG. After graduation and post-SCG, our alumni have gone on to pursue careers in consulting, marketing, tech, healthcare, engineering, supply chain, and many more.
