How much IT competence is required in advance to join your company after graduation?

In general, deep programming or developer expertise is not mandatory for entry-level roles at BearingPoint. What matters most are strong analytical skills, a solid understanding of business processes, and the willingness to engage with digital topics. Basic technical knowledge, such as familiarity with data models or digital platforms is an advantage since many projects involve bridging business and IT.

BearingPoint offers two main career paths that define your medium-term development direction: Business Consulting and Technology Consulting.

Business Consulting focuses on advising clients on business strategies, organizational models and process optimization. It combines deep industry and functional expertise with strong project management skills, ensuring that complex initiatives are delivered on time and within scope. Typical responsibilities include designing business strategies, managing transformation programs, and driving change management efforts to help organizations achieve operational excellence.

Technology Consulting, on the other hand, centers on leveraging technology to enable business transformation. This path emphasizes expertise in IT systems, software development, and integration of complex platforms. Consultants in this area design and implement digital solutions, support data-driven decision-making, and guide clients through large-scale IT transformations to enhance efficiency and innovation.

Both paths provide opportunities for specialization and leadership, and transitions between them are possible based on your interests and organizational needs. Furthermore, BearingPoint offers extensive learning opportunities (Be.School, e-learning, certifications like Scrum Master, PMP, and cloud certifications) to strengthen both business and technical skills allowing you to fill IT knowledge gaps and grow in your chosen path.
