Hi There,
I'm currently seeking 2026 new grad roles in consulting (I'm graduating in May).
Most recently, I completed a Selection Day (and was unsuccessful) at a Toronto-based boutique firm named Isaac Operations. I have nothing but great things to say about all the folks there - class acts all around.
Here's the interesting part: I'm currently in the process of completing another Selection Day with a UK-based boutique consulting firm called Newton Consulting (not sure if this is the same as Newton Europe). What I find very interesting is that these firms are almost identical in their approach (operations consulting, Monday-Friday on Client Site so very travel heavy) and their interview process is also identical (application screening -> aptitude -> video interview -> selection day -> final interview).
Here's what I like the most about these 2 identical firms:
- 99% travel (Monday-Friday on client site). You're working hands on with the clients on strategy issues (it's not technology consulting like you would find at IBM).
I’m reaching out to the PrepLounge community for suggestions on consulting firms comparable to these two. Since they seem very similar in positioning, I suspect there are other firms in the same category that I’m missing and should consider applying to.
