25 Top Consulting Firms (Electronic book text)

Consulting firms are traditionally among the largest employers of top MBA graduates and undergraduates, and it's easy to see why. Consulting is a high-paying, high-profile field that offers recent grads the opportunity to assume a large degree of responsibility right out of school and quickly learn a great deal about the business world. It's also a profession that will send you to the corners of the country-and sometimes farther-and leave you there for days and weeks on end while you sort out tough questions for a client that's paying your firm millions of dollars.
