Management Consultant political contributions from California
8,252 itemized gifts totaling $2,353,466 sit at the meeting of Management Consultant and California. 264 unique donors produced the cell. FEC.gov is the source. MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT is a two-word title. Consultant without management is a neighboring key and is not folded into this California cell. $13,454,559 is the national occupation denominator; California is 17.5%. The label is a filer-entered occupation, not a consulting-firm payroll, an MBB alumni list, or a NAICS professional-services rollup.

Two keys: MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT and CA
The packet’s keys are literal: occupation string MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT, donor state CA. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $2,353,466, from 8,252 contributions and 264 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.
Treat the label as a self-reported occupation. Free-text fields let filers write a longer title, a nearby spelling, or an employer instead. Those rows are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets. Neighbors include consultant, strategy consultant, management consulting, and advisor.
$2,353,466 is smaller than $13,454,559 because other states exist, and it is not a share of all California giving because this packet has no state-wide occupation-blind denominator. The join is the point. MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT is a two-word title. Consultant without management is a neighboring key and is not folded into this California cell.
Management Consultant as typed, not a census
After this California cell of $2,353,466, $11,101,093 of the Management Consultant grouping remains in other states. That remainder is 82.5% of $13,454,559. The California page is not empty of other occupations; this file simply does not add them.
Percentages here use packet facts only. No statewide all-occupation total is supplied, so no share of California politics is claimed. 17.5% is Management Consultant-internal. Strategy versus operations versus technology consulting as typed is unpublished.
Means on $2,353,466
264 donors and 8,252 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 31.3 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups.
$8,915 per donor and $285 per line are derived from $2,353,466. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Strategy versus operations versus technology consulting as typed remains unpublished.
Dropping the Management Consultant filter
Dropping the Management Consultant filter returns the reader to the California campaign-finance index. That index is not $2,353,466. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 8,252 contributions, 264 donors, $2,353,466.
No statewide all-occupation denominator is in the packet, so Management Consultant cannot be ranked as a percent of California itemized giving. 17.5% remains a share of $13,454,559 only.
Keeping $2,353,466 attached to both keys
Keep both nouns in every citation: Management Consultant and California. Dropping the state turns $2,353,466 into $13,454,559. Dropping the occupation turns this cell into the state hub, which this packet does not quantify as an all-occupation total.
Internal paths: /occupations/management-consultant/ for the occupation running total, /states/CA/ for the state without this title, /occupations/ for neighboring strings, /ties/ for other joins. MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT is a two-word title. Consultant without management is a neighboring key and is not folded into this California cell.
Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.
All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.
Nearby job titles belong on their own occupation hubs if stored as other strings. A mean gift is dollars divided by itemized lines, not a typical check. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Repeat the join in one line: occupation MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT ∩ state CA = $2,353,466, 8,252 receipts, 264 donors, 17.5% of $13,454,559. Neighbors remain consultant, strategy consultant, management consulting, and advisor. Source remains FEC.gov.
