Understanding the Value of Consultancy Experience When Switching to Company Jobs

Respected Seniors,

I have some doubts about jobs. Please help me understand the job market. I want to know the difference between working with a company and consultancy. Does consultancy job experience count when changing jobs from consultancy to a company? How much weightage is given to consultancy job experience? It would be a great help if anybody could guide me in detail.

Thanks in advance,

Warm Regards,
Sunita Lokur

Yes, the consultancy experience is counted when transitioning from consultancy to corporate. I started my career in consultancy, and now I am in a general HRD role in the corporate sector.
