Hi, I am curious, do management consulting fimrs have a 'busy' and 'low' season'? I know for the Big4 firms their busy season is now beginning ahead of tax season in certain countries, but I was curious about management consultancies. In my country we can apply for positions year-round so I'm not so much asking about hiring policies as just general workload and number of projects starting up and being staffed.

Absolutely! Demand is often in line with the vacation/holiday preferences in the country (e.g. summer/Christmas = slow in Western Europe). There are even some offices in Scandinavia that close for a whole month during the summer vacations.

Dear A,
Consulting as other business has it's own seasonality. So the low season are - January and August. While the high seasons are February-May, September-December.
Hope, it helps,
Best,
André

You may be able to apply year round, doesn't mean the interviews & start times won't be clustered around a couple of periods around the year.
