‘I AM NOT a business graduate’ - Why consulting still suits you
What do chemistry, physics, maths and IT consulting have in common?
More than you think!
As part of the ‘Career Perspectives’ event series, three alumni of Heidelberg University provide exciting insights into their personal career paths and show how they successfully entered IT consulting at cbs with a degree in natural sciences or mathematics.
Dr Carl-Christoph Winter (Chemistry), Prisca Gestrich (Mathematics & Computer Science) and Benedict Schuster (Mathematics) talk about their path into management consulting, their current tasks in the digital transformation and dispel common preconceptions about starting a career in consulting:
- ‘I don't have a business background after all.’
- ‘They're probably only looking for IT people.’
- "Consulting? That's only for suits."
You will find out first-hand what IT consulting really means at cbs, what diverse development opportunities there are and why your scientific thinking makes a real difference in consulting.
