Consulting is a surprisingly strong fit for AI training. The core consulting skill — structuring an ambiguous problem, applying a framework, and communicating a defensible recommendation — is exactly what labs need evaluated in business-reasoning tasks. If you've worked at a strategy firm, in corporate strategy, or in business operations, that maps to remote work at $75–$150/hr.
Why consulting transfers
- Framework application — judging whether a model correctly structured a market-entry, pricing, or ops problem is case-interview grading.
- Structured communication — evaluating clarity, logic flow, and "so what" is what you do to every deck.
- Business judgment — catching where a model's advice is plausible but wrong is your daily instinct.

What the work involves

How to position a consulting résumé
- Name the firm/tier and function. "Strategy consultant, MBB, 3 yrs, TMT practice" beats "consultant."
- Quantify engagements. Studies led, industries covered, measurable outcomes.
- Lead with a specialty where you have one (pricing, M&A diligence, ops) — it routes you to better-paid roles. See the getting-accepted guide.
