Considering that Boston is a huge consulting city, is there any benefits to being in Boston over other cities? Just assuming cause BCG and Bain's HQs are there. Ignore me if I am speaking nonsense. 🤷

HQ has lots of admin but not really any more consultants than other big markets. I believe Chicago NYC and SF are all bigger in purely consulting staff terms for us. No reason to pick Boston for career reasons - if you love the city, go for it though.

Doesn't matter. Headquarters is a pretty amorphous idea, particularly in a global consultancy. The HQ is really wherever the decision makers are all in one place, and that varies widely

Yeah... Chi is definitely more family skewed than either Coast (though less than TX, etc.)

There's just so much lack of...everything in Boston. Lack of diversity (racial and cultural), lack of entertainment, lack of good restaurants besides seafood, lack of relatively reasonably priced housing, lack of pronouncing the letter R in words....

Our CEO is based in NYC. HQ doesn't matter much. Boston is a terrible city.

Love all the Boston hate....especially from BCG 👏

I absolutely love Boston as a city and our office. But, to each his own. Boston prob skews more family compared to CHI and NYC

Def more fam in Chi... have you been to the Midwest? That's what we do in the winter.
