The purpose of this thesis is to understand the reasons to why Management consultants choose to leave their positions at large and established Management consultant companies. The empirical data are made up of eleven interviews with men and women, both Management consultants that have left their previous positions as well as a consultant who has chosen to stay with her first company and a representative from one of the large companies active within the Management consultant industry.
