A few weeks ago, I posted about a similar topic, asking “In the age of AI, do you think such STEM-humanities combinations are attractive to top employers in consulting and other industries?“
One poster shared the following:
“…it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that the STEM + humanities majors received both interest and offers. A major part of the interview process at MBB is the case, and they’re looking for creative problem solvers who look at things from unexpected and unconventional angles. The consulting skill set can be taught (and at my place of employment, it is preferred and considered apprenticeship to learn the craft here). Plenty of my fellow colleagues have unconventional backgrounds, either via major or sustained outside experience or interests. AI is making that all the more important, as more of the “grunt” work in consulting can be outsourced to agents.”
