Dear ECON team,
is it possible to join ECON with a PhD in physics, but without relevant experience in consulting? At what level would the entrance be and are there special trainings during the onboarding to learn the economic background?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Hi there,
fair question and I am happy to say "yes", it is absolutely possible!
We do promote diversity of backgrounds and offer special entry level as well as training for PhD's. You would be starting as a Senior Consultant with little lower tenure, which gives you enough time to develop relevant skills and get familiar with the new ways of working. You have a "basic consulting readiness" training as fixed part of your onboarding journey and a personal mentor to support your development.
If you are interested to get a glimpse into consulting, keep an eye on our jobs page: We will be promoting our next career event for STEM students very soon, so save the date for September 30 - October 1! ;-) www.eon.com/econ/jobs
