Technology consulting firms

The big technology consulting firms. What they do, who they suit, and what undergraduates need on their CV.

Written by someone who worked at BCG and Bain in London and has reviewed 175+ banking and consulting CVs. Updated 2026-10-09.

These firms help organisations design, build and run technology. Some also have strategy practices, but most of their people work on technology.

Who they suit

People who want to work on how technology changes a business, rather than pure strategy. For Indian students, Infosys and Wipro are huge graduate employers at home. For US citizens interested in government and defence, Booz Allen is a major option. International students should note that many Booz Allen roles need US security clearance.

What the CV needs

Something technical with a result: a project you built, a process you automated, data you analysed and acted on. Plus teamwork in big groups and the usual basics.

Questions

Is technology consulting the same as strategy consulting?

No. It's mostly about building and implementing systems, though firms like Accenture also have strategy practices.
