Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>Hey all, </p>

<p>I currently work at Smith Barney in Pittsburgh as a financial advisor intern, basically just assisting a team of financial advisors in their day to day activities. I recently began having interest in the consulting industry and may be having a phone conversation with a company called Highland Consulting, out of cleveland -- however, when i looked at their website, it seemed like they were doing the same things as financial advisors but without that title...can someone look at this website <a href="http://www.highlandusa.net/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.highlandusa.net/&lt;/a> and please tell me if what im thinking is true or not? Or is this, essentially, what it means to be a business consultant, and it actually does differ from being a financial advisor?</p>

<p>Looks like any other FA firm. I believe your intuition was correct. Are you thinking of Consulting Consulting? Like big bad Bain, McKinsey, Monitor, Boston Consulting Group, etc?</p>

<p>I'd recommend the Vault guide first and foremost. Your career office should have it for free.</p>
