Software engineers and developers, network engineers and other specialists are always in high demand by consulting firms, which then send those professionals to clients with a variety of projects and issues to tackle, from product design to debugging to crafting strategy. Clients also have a deep hunger for business analysts who can swoop in to analyze a corporate database.
It’s also important to note that consulting firms also bring aboard specialists in cutting-edge areas such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and generative AI, often in anticipation that clients will have heavy use for this talent in the quarters and years ahead.
