Why did you choose to start your career at H&Z?

“When I joined H&Z as a Junior Consultant three years ago, I deliberately chose a generalist path. With a degree in International Management, I was curious to explore different industries and topics before diving into a specialisation. H&Z’s project structure offered exactly that: the freedom to try out various fields while being supported along the way by your mentor.”
