Er entschied sich f\u00fcr die Unternehmensberatung, um sich nicht auf eine Branche festzulegen und sammelte eigene Erfahrungen. Nach \u00fcber drei Jahren bei TMG Consultants zeigt sich: Lange Tage und Reisen sind projektabh\u00e4ngig; Ellenbogen-Mentalit\u00e4t erlebt er nicht. Stattdessen pr\u00e4gen kollegiales Miteinander und Fachlichkeit seinen Alltag. Die Wahl Beratung war f\u00fcr ihn genau richtig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong><strong>&#8222;Die unterschiedlichen Projekteins\u00e4tze und die pers\u00f6nlichen Schwerpunkte sowie die Projektbesetzungen aus erfahrenen und neuen Kollegen f\u00fchren zu einem schnellen Erfahrungsaufbau, der Oberfl\u00e4chlichkeit direkt entgegenwirkt.&#8220;<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>&#8211; Christoph G. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Most people who are considering the decision to work in management consulting cannot avoid the classic clich\u00e9s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Working late into the night<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always on the road and \"living out of a suitcase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ellenbogen-Mentalit\u00e4t \u201eup or out\u201c<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Superficial \"business snobs\" who don't really have a clue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Warum ich mich trotzdem f\u00fcr die Unternehmensberatung entschieden habe, wie diese Entscheidung zustande kam und ob sich diese Klischees in meinem Arbeitsalltag bei der TMG Consultants GmbH wiederfinden, erfahrt Ihr hier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After successfully defending my Master's thesis, I was on a plane to Costa Rica a few days later. What began as a language trip turned into a nine-month backpacking tour through South America. Between many highlights such as the diverse cities in Colombia, the Cordillera Huayhuash mountain range in Peru, the wine regions in Chile and Argentina and the many people you meet on such a trip, there were also quiet moments to reflect on my personal future and the path to my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of industries and specific job descriptions, I first thought about what basic characteristics my professional role should have. Influenced by the impressions of my trip, I quickly realized that variety in the form of working with different people and working in different places was an important requirement for my future job description. As a graduate, I also wanted to gain my first experience quickly and develop myself further. As I didn't want to commit myself to a specific industry (automotive, medicine, mechanical engineering, etc.), management consultancy quickly became the focus of my considerations. Even though I was well aware of the above-mentioned clich\u00e9s, I didn't want to let other people's assessments put me off my idea too quickly. So it was clear: I had to gain my own experience in management consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have now been working in management consulting for almost 5 years. During this time, it has become clear that longer working days are part of the job from time to time. However, depending on your own ambitions and motivation, this characteristic can be transferred to many other professions. Living out of a suitcase is related to the current project. Not all projects require a 100% presence on site and sometimes there are projects that allow you to commute home every day. I haven't personally experienced the elbow mentality. I can't rule out whether this characteristic exists in other management consultancies. At TMG, I really appreciate the collegial cooperation and mutual support. Even with the last clich\u00e9, the superficial business administration snobs, I have always been able to convince myself of the opposite at TMG. The different project assignments and the personal focus as well as the project teams consisting of experienced and new colleagues lead to a rapid build-up of experience, which directly counteracts superficiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision to join a management consultancy has turned out to be the right one for me.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-4338","testimonials","type-testimonials","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hidden-champions-of-consulting.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/testimonials\/4338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hidden-champions-of-consulting.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/testimonials"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hidden-champions-of-consulting.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/testimonials"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hidden-champions-of-consulting.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
