Senior Consultants and Experienced Hires
SDG hires experienced consultants from industry or from consulting firms throughout the year. Senior consultants typically have MBAs or PhDs and significant business or consulting experience since earning their degree. An experienced hire usually joins the firm at the level of senior consultant, although in some circumstances may join SDG as a senior engagement manager (a pre-partner position) or, rarely, as an incoming partner.
“My career trajectory at SDG has enabled me to participate in a fascinating mix of consulting assignments—for industry leaders in categories as diverse as transportation, oil and gas, technology and telecom, power, and manufacturing—as well as educational services. SDG offers clients a unique combination of rigorous analytics and meaningful processes for organizational alignment.”
