Resumo(s)
This thesis explores the challenges women face in the consulting industry, focusing on navi gating career progression and balancing work and family. Through qualitative analysis using
22 semi-structured interviews with female consultants, the research identified key systematic
barriers, such as gendered biases and work-family conflict. To illustrate these findings, we con ceptualized a theoretical framework demonstrating how the interplay of consulting culture, fam ily compatibility, and gender dynamics creates compounded challenges. The findings suggest
that while progress has been made, significant obstacles remain, especially for women seeking
senior roles. The study provides managerial implications for consulting firms to foster an envi ronment prioritizing inclusivity, flexibility, and equity.
