Both good options.. The typical pros/cons of Industry vs. Consulting here. If you're in consulting today and there's energy left in your tank I'd probably go with Altman assuming comparable comp and no preference for either location. Higher upside and you can always go to industry later

Cap One.
I’m a senior exec in telco in the UK and have been seeing people on this board talk about Altman Solon as though it’s some very well known telco consultancy. I have never once heard of them, nor have any of my peers.
Everyone’s heard of Cap One. If you don’t like it there, any of the bulge brackets will hire you. Banking runs the UK, not telco or consulting.

Interesting, maybe UK market dynamic is different than US. I am at Google now and was formerly at Kearney and heard of AS as they tried to recruit me a few years ago.

If this were the US, then with comp data OP mentioned above, I would take AS for sure. OP is still young and AS will offer the option for more internal mobility, go to a bigger brand consultancy, or into tech if he wants it (won't be as easy as coming from MBB but maybe slightly harder than from a T2). Also think work would be less interesting as BA at C1

What are the pay differences?

AS is 15%-20% higher than C1 as Consultant is one level higher than grad position but given the location difference, disposable income will be similar

Incoming junior-level consultant wants to know what is “billable hour”.
Once in a while I see discussions around billable hours, but I don’t know how that works. After googling, it appears to me that billable hour only matters to me if my salary is paid by hours. Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!
