Students across Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney continue to show interest in pursuing consulting careers despite recent high-profile scandals in the sector. Multiple outlets report that while many students still view consulting as an attractive pathway for building skills and professional experience, the controversies are influencing how they approach hiring decisions. Some students say the recent events make them think more carefully about which firms to join, including whether they would be comfortable working for specific companies. The articles describe a cautious attitude rather than a broad abandonment of the industry: students do not necessarily reject consulting as a career choice, but they weigh reputational and ethical concerns more heavily than they may have before the scandals. Overall, the reporting indicates that students’ enthusiasm is tempered by increased scrutiny of employers, with attention focused on firm-specific risk rather than the entire consulting field. The outlets present the same core theme—continued demand for consulting roles alongside more selective decision-making about where to work.
