Folks, any recommendations for consulting firms with great WLB and an enjoyable culture? Just at the beginning of identifying firms to target, but some firms I've heard good things about include Slalom, Jabian, and Liberty Advisor Group.
For context on me, I'm Chicago-based with a focus on technology strategy working in commercial (non-federal) consulting. I'm fine with compensation that's a bit lower as long as the improved WLB / employee experience is commensurate.

Is it good to get stocks as part of CTC which has 4 years vesting period?

CTC looks high due to this stocks but effectively i would not be getting it for the 4 years. Also the yearly hike includes this stock component.

CTC had fixed, variable and stock part. Variable and stock is almost 30% of total ctc.

Really confused if this is a good deal or is it a trap.

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him. Three days later recruiter wants to give me a call and “give an update”. Schedules it after 2 days. This morning cancels last minute as they are having “internal discussions”. I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?

Will this be one of those moments I remember when going to bed for the rest of my life? Yes.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Ask me anything (AMA)

What are some good books that helped you with consulting? Looking for some good reads.
