MBA Consultant job outlook: Expert opinions
Our panel of mba consultant experts

Are there any particularly good places in the United States for MBA Consultants to find work opportunities?
Dr. Stephanie McNulty Ph.D.: Our recent graduates are finding many jobs in the same sectors and places as before the pandemic. I have been pleasantly surprised to find out that most of our former Government majors find exciting jobs. However, their mode of working has changed. Most of them are almost 100% online now, and many of them have not had to relocate to the city in which their employer is based. Public sector, non-profit, and policy jobs are still as important as ever, and, anecdotally, my impressions are that they do not seem to have been affected as much by the economic slowdown as the corporate sector. One growing field has been immigration law, although I am not sure how long that will last if the administration changes.
