Ask a Consultant

Do I need an academic background in business administration or economics to become a consultant at DHLC?

I have a scientific background but am also wondering about background in humanities. 

Thank you for answering my question.

Hi there!

A short answer is no. While the majority of our employees do have a background in business administration or economics, we also have consultants with degrees in engineering, mathematics, physics and other disciplines. What we do pay attention to is a relevant work or internships experience (e.g. consulting, strategy and related fields). I believe if you have that, you are good to go. 

I hope that helps!
