Does it make sense to do consulting at T3 & below consultancies in Europe? What I’ve heard is that you even earn less than in industry and still have to do 50-60h a week and exit opportunities are not great either. This should be especially the case at the Big4 what I’ve heard. Is that true, or did I just get the wrong impression?

If B4 is T3 (their consulting departments), then yea. If T2 (EYP etc.) then pay is equal to industry or sometimes better.

You work here for career opportunities. Personally big 4 might be better than a non name boutique. Otherwise take a boutique firm that is specialized and move to an expert position later in industry

Depends. Inhouse consulting at big companies can be pretty cushy, and the exit ops usually lead to mgmt positions in the company. SC at a big inhouse can make 80-90k.

Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?
