bunch of data gathering and data synthesis.
client has problem or question, i find info, i understand info in client’s context, i recommend based on findings, experience, and other factors (politics, client’s direction, etc)
I always explain it as a lot of educated guessing. Really does boil down to that a lot of the time anyways. Also a lot of making some kind of cohesive plan for other people, ensuring that the client is in fact making the best decisions they could be right now.
When it's my relatives who ask, I just say I work with computers. They think that's a solid answer. I've said pretty much the same to my neighbors. With other people I might try to come up with something more. But it occurs to me that a lot of people really don't want to know.
just walk them through a case interview in 2 min and that explains the job haha

There are also so many different types of consultants. Some are management/strategy consultants and some are really glorified staff aug.
