Do you all think the consulting structure breeds micro-managers ?

No. It’s by the individual how they manage

Any environment with high standards and managers breeds micromanagement, it's not unique to consulting

That’s true thanks for clarifying

Agree with SM2. “Micromanaging” has a bad reputation, but the reality is constant follow ups ensures teams are staying focused and concerns are addressed immediately. Would you call a football coach a micromanager as he’s telling his team what to do after every play?

Anyone who says “I don’t micromanage” is really someone who doesn’t manage at all. It’s often a team that doesn’t need them as a manager or a junior resource stepping up to play the role of a manager

Quite the opposite - the already bad lifestyle would be way worse if I micromanaged.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
