Firms that hire social science PhDs?

Hi, 

I'm finishing my PhD in Sociology and would like to transition into consulting. I know MBB actively recruit PhDs in all disciplines, but I am wondering what other firms would be interested in hiring someone who is coming from a social science PhD. anyone have any tips? 

Thanks!

Hi,

You are right that firms hire from all backgrounds, even T2 firms. Based on my previous experience at Kearney, this happened there as well. 

You can read my article for some tips about breaking into consulting from a social science background:
