For M+ folks (or the equivalent level at your firm) - what is your favorite thing about working in consulting? What keeps you going and motivated?

The pay. Money isn't everything, but it sure is nice to have options other than Nofrills. 😂

Love the honesty and frankly I’d have been shocked if $ didn’t come up as an answer to this question ;)

I get bored easily. Consulting keeps things interesting because you’re constantly moving clients + project teams

Really enjoy the learning side still - find most weeks I’m in a cool discussion I can’t find anywhere else.

Pay is good. Bad hourly. Good overall.

Lifestyle will drive me away eventually.

This. It’s still a grind but a different grind than being elbows deep in an excel model. I like brainstorming and ideating solutions that the team can collectively execute.

I liked the challenge, moving on from project and client teams after a few months, amazing flexibility (no one cares what you’re doing, as long as you get it done), remote work, high pay (I am from NYC), having a niche skill set that gives me job protection, smart and cool colleagues, constantly obtaining leading edge knowledge and skills, travel perks. It’s just a fun, ever evolving corporate job compared to most industry jobs which are boring. I like moving on to new challenges too. Not working with the same people for years.

What will the project dynamics be on a project staffed with 3mdps, a PL, and myself, a summer UG intern? Just got staffed and will be hearing more on Monday from the team, but it came across as an interesting staffing composition.

Have the feeling I'll be making quite a few slides as the only junior. Anyone staffed on a similar case composition?

Hey all!!
Hope you all are doing good.
Can someone share your thought of how to deal with this situation. I am completely lost in terms of my mental health. Not able to overcome and accept this situation. I think this is right place to ask, as we all are going through the same.
