I'm a Civil Engineer with about 10 years experience, most recently working in a small engineering consulting company in Australia.

I'm aware that I don't really have any management experience to talk about. What I do have is an undergraduate management degree, some experience in infrastructure management, and pretty solid numerical and analytical skills. I also have undergrad and postgrad Civil Engineering qualifications for what it's worth. As well as a general interest in business, I'm drawn to consulting for what I perceive to be a chance to work on a wider variety of problems, and probably more abstract problems, than in an engineering role. I'm leaning towards operations, and in particular transport operations, as an area of consulting to focus on. I found operations one of the more interesting topics at University, and feel transport might give me a hand to land a role as an 'experienced professional' instead of having to start from the bottom of the ladder again. To make things more interesting, I'm also moving to London with my girlfriend in July with a Youth Mobility visa valid for two years. I'm finding it a bit difficult to find out the specifics of a consulting job and whether my plans are reasonable. In general I'd appreciate some input on:

Do you like seeing your girlfriend? If yes, I do not recommend a career in Management Consulting.

Engineering consulting isn't always great in that regard either.
