After coming from IBanking and then spending years into consulting, it's very clear that IBanking is much more difficult. It's not even close.

Came to consulting from bulge bracket IB. I’d say close to 40 percent of my time was spent on meaningless tasks such as checking double spacing between words at 1am.. also the culture was terrible. I don’t think IB is intellectually any harder that consulting. For me, the hours and the people I worked with made it a lot worse though.

Consulting.

Umm okay?

I agree. Was in the same boat a decade ago and glad I jumped into the consulting bandwagon.

Hours and advanced modeling? What else?

I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.
