What general advice would you give to an Integration Consultant?
Dr. Neil Eldin PhD, PE: Things don’t just happen. You must develop a career plan to maximize your salary potential when starting your career. Find the right employer for yourself. For example, if you are mobile and willing to travel, target employers with international projects. After working for a few years, you can request a transfer to an overseas assignment, and this will instantaneously almost double your salary. If you are not mobile and your circumstances do not allow your travel, seek employment with major corporations and seek positions that are done at the home office (e.g., estimating, procurement, and contracting).

What skills will help Integration Consultants earn the most?
Michael Munger: The ability to lead a group by example and to get other people to feel that they are part of something larger than themselves. At its best, Political Science is like an entire little liberal arts curriculum. It's the perfect preparation for leadership, either in government or the private sector!
How do you envision technology impacting Integration Consultants in the next 5 years?
Hilary Walrod: I envision that continual technological development - and widespread use of digital technology - will yield increasing opportunities to apply art and design skills in the field of interactive design.

What are the biggest trends we'll see in the Integration Consultant job market given the pandemic?
Tammy Bosley Ph.D.: I think that many employees will continue to work from home post-pandemic. During COVID-19, people worked effectively at home, and in many instances, were more productive than when they were physically at the office. Employers will likely consider if they should pay for office space when their employees can do their jobs at home. If the traditional office space does become obsolete, employees will have to reimagine their home offices to promote a professional environment for digital platforms. They'll also have to work harder at making connections with others. High tech requires high touch. In other words, when we rely on computer-mediated communication, we need to interact more to establish relationships. Improving and maintaining digital communication skills will be essential as employees navigate their post-pandemic careers.
What type of skills will young Integration Consultants need?
Randy Shearer: Business fundamentals; critical thinking skills; comfortable in the digital space; cost principles is a plus; general accounting.
What technology do you think will become more important and prevalent for Integration Consultants in the next 3-5 years?
Peter Woolley Ph.D.: One next big thing will be blockchain technology. This will be used to keep records secure and to record every public transaction and contract. If you want to jump to the head of the line, start reading about it now.
How do you envision technology impacting Integration Consultants in the next 5 years?
Meghan Kahn Ph.D.: The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted more growth in telework, including in mental health. Telehealth is growing in popularity within mental health counseling, which is likely to be true even after the pandemic. Many human resources and data management jobs have moved to remote work during the epidemic and are likely to continue with remote work, to some degree, after the pandemic.
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Integration Consultants to find work opportunities?
Christopher Blake Ph.D.: If you had asked me last year, I would say that several places a graduate could find ample work opportunities. Any city with a Federal Reserve Branch Bank is a safe bet for those interested in public policy. The private sector is always looking for qualified economists to help with data analysis, modeling, and strategy. While there is still decent demand for those with strong communication, modeling, and data skills, the movement to more remote work makes it more likely a graduate can find a job anywhere. This may be one of the few positives from this job market cycle, relative to last year's, as there will be many jobs that no longer ask that one moves to the job's physical location.
Digital "places" are then perhaps more critical. For academic and research jobs, always keep an eye on the Job Openings for Economists list through the American Economic Association website (https://www.aeaweb.org/joe/listings?). A handful of other sites are devoted to academic and research jobs, though these are used less frequently (EconJobMarket comes to mind: https://econjobmarket.org/). Outside of academic and research positions, the world is truly your oyster - as they say. Remaining active on job boards, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms, and even checking specific large company websites can all prove valuable sources to find work opportunities. There will always be a demand for strong candidates who can understand the plethora of data collected these days.

Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Integration Consultants to find work opportunities?
Mike Ozlanski Ph.D.: I suspect that geographic restrictions are going to be less critical than they were before. Accounting firms and accounting departments have shown tremendous resilience as they adopted remote work practices. I suspect that once the pandemic passes, organizations will not entirely abandon remote working arrangements. Yes, people will need to still access their offices (or the offices of their clients). However, they won't need to always be physically present to do their jobs.
We've already seen evidence that people are starting to leave cities for suburbans settings. Remote work arrangements (in some cases) enable people to fulfill their responsibilities from rural settings (as long as there is reliable high-speed internet access).
The potential flexibility associated with remote work will also benefit graduates who provide care to children or other family members. This should reduce their barriers to enter the profession and to thrive in it.
