Hi all,I studied psychology at undergrad and am coming to the end of my analyst stint at one of the big consulting firms (e.g capgemini, deloitte, acn etc.) having focused on the people side of consulting like org. design, training and change management.I'm keen to do something more psychology related (less IT focused) but still with the potential to earn the same money as at the above kind of firms.Do the firms that specialize in this area (e.g. kaisen, stanton morris and so on) pay consulting level salaries?Any other advice for someone looking to move in to this area? Also considering an MSc.

My advice is that an MSc will be essential. Ongoing academic involvement (e.g. research towards a PhD or post-doctoral teaching) is also very popular.Pay in the small Occ.Psyc. firms's is on par with mainstream consulting around the mid-career level but doesn't reach the same levels for partnership. However, these are small firms so it is easier to reach partnership in first place. In addition, there is much greater work-life balance, part-time working, opportunities for part-time study, etc possible than in mainstream consulting.Salaries and progression are benchmarked to be competitive with other psychology careers. This is because career mobility between public practice, small occ.pych. firms, and independent coaching/contracting is greater than that between occ.psych consulting and mainstream consulting.

Thanks very much for the advice.Who are the best firms to approach for this kind of work other than the 2 I listed?
