Project delivery phases and client-facing engagements are the parts most likely to require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a risk management consultant in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is joining a large consulting firm or financial institution in an analyst or associate role, then building toward the full consultant title. Deloitte, PwC, and Aon all run structured analyst programs in California that accept new graduates. Lateral moves from roles in internal audit, compliance, or financial analysis are common and well recognized. Earning the CRM or starting the FRM exam process while job searching signals commitment and gives California employers a concrete reason to consider a candidate without consulting experience.
