The kind they consulted for. For example, those who did consulting jobs for high-tech companies would have an ‘in’ for a management job in high tech. Those who consulted for oil/gas would be likely to get an management job in oil/gas. It’s not just because you learn about the industry by consulting for them, but perhaps more importantly, you develop a stable of contacts with which you can call up to find a position.
