Do you know of anyone who's been able to use their consulting skillset to advise humanitarian aid organizations or their crisis responses? Would these organizations even need our skills, or is the field too saturated already? How much experience do we need to have before we can help out? (I'd hope that we can at least help out grassroots efforts early on.)

Genuine question because sometime down the line, I'd be willing to take a pay cut to do this type of work.

Yes, Gates Foundation, CHAI, many others hire strategy ppl. All levels. Some would be a massive pay cut, some not too much. Easiest transition if you get involved in those sectors in consulting.

Is CHAI = Clinton Health Access Initiative?

Dalberg, Bridgespan, FSG, social impact practice areas within MBB, foundations, world bank advisory, etc. - There’s a whole world of this out there but also very small relative to broader consulting market.

BCG I heard does a lot of projects with Gates Foundation

Look at Dahlberg. Lots of MBB people go there. They do development consulting.

Thank you for your responses, all! Have consultants also been able to lend their skills to organizations like UNCHR, Red Cross, and Doctors Without Borders to coordinate emergency responses and deploy relief in real time?

Not sure if firms like Bridgespan do that type of immediate crisis work.
