Hi All,I've been looking at the possiblity of applying to PA Consulting as a Transport Consultant. I wanted to find out more about this role and hear from anyone who work (or have worked) for PA in that sector (or anyone else for that matter!)...specifically interested in:1. size of the department?2. clients? what kind of clients do they have? largely public sector UK clients? what about private sector work?3. moving around within PA. Is it possible to gain experience in other sectors or is one stuck in the Transportation space.4. what is the bulk of services provided in Transport? size of teams on assignments? length of assignments?5. What kind of salary can an Experienced Hire expect (3 years consulting experience)? 6. any international travel possible in this Transport Group? That's a lot of questions! Thanks for reading! Any advice is much appreciated! Many thanks all!

Mr Consultant,Whilst I can not directly answer you questions, I can offer the following thoughts.PA are trying to rebuild there transport consultancy team (although, it was never partciularly large in the first place).I heard recently that they were pitching for some large private sector contracts in aerospace.I would personally consider other options first: LEK, KPMG, BAH, MVA, SDG, ADL etc. However, it is difficult to advise without knowing your particluar specialisms and motivation for moving.HG

Hi HG,Many thanks for your insights. I am looking to move more into private sector clients and don't want to join PA if I will end up in another long term public sector assignment (as I currently am on).looking to move away from systems integration/technical consultancy and more into management consultancy (not necessarily strategy)...Do you have any idea of the approx. size of their transport team? (you mention it wasn't very large)...Many thanks again!
