I don't want to lower the tone of this forum but... could anyone tell me do male consultants tend to be sexy? i was thinking about going into advertising but my friend said that advertising is full of feminine guys and that careers like banking and consultancy are where the real men are... any insights?

I can only speak for myself but... YES!

Hey there, I can only give you my opinion but here goesConsultants - Not bad lookingAdvertising execs - much sexier (according to my other half!)

Most of them are very unhealthy, having spent too much time in front of computers and not enough time in the gym. They also tend to live off of a diet of caviar (client dinners) or crisps (typical lunch).

Cynic - funny post! How many times have I seen that!Soroya - your best chance of getting an MC to buy you champagne cocktails or a Michelin starred dinner is to get a job at one of their clients. They NEVER spend their own money on the luxuries.Oh and be prepared for a two hour discussion on how they wowed their client with an analysis of the Indonesian rubber market.

Consultancy used to be sexy but I left a couple of years ago!
