Folks have any opinions on moving to a client strategist role with Gartner? Seems like decent WLB and pay compared to advisory consulting.

Decent WLB sounds right. Downsides: Exit options and future pay trajectory (over 2 to 5 yrs) are not as good as staying in consulting. If you're an SM or Partner and they're paying you to move over to sell work or be a relatively senior leader, it could be a good move. If you're relatively junior and looking at a 10-20k pay bump and 10 fewer hours per week, it isn't worth it.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
