Financial Advisory & Consulting?

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>Hello! </p>

<p>I'm a freshman business major, and I recently got into it for I was on a straight premed track throughout high school (never took a business, econ, stat class in my life, but all the AP sciences...) I'm not too familiar with the different jobs, and when I see people throwing out terms like S&T and SEO and bulge bracket and whatnot, I have no idea what they are talking about, haha. But I've been reading the past few weeks, hoping to gain more infomation :P </p>

<p>My question is relatively simple: I thought I wanted to go into consulting because I really enjoy working analytically with people in solving their issues, and travelling is something I enjoy. However, I do want a regular home life when I'm in my 30s--I don't want to be travelling ALL the time with half my week away from my kids and family! </p>

<p>What exactly do management consultants do? (say, risk management at Deloitte Consulting?) Does this differ from financial advisory at Big 4 firms? What exactly IS financial advisory at accounting firms? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
