Consulting is good to build skills. If you are in it for money, then probably missed the point. We make less than banking, PE, hedge funds. The way I look at this is to get the experience of working with executives early on, then leave to be a leader yourself. I do not think of partners as true leaders, mostly because they did not build their own business. To me, they are more like wealth management brokers. Have their own client book and work that to create impact and have a sound financial platform. However, the best and most driven leave for other opportunities. If you want to really get deep in sth and lead more people, then industry is your next step. You can do startup too. In general, the goal for me is to be independent, own something and build a business by using skills I learned.
To be honest. It was the first job I had out of university. I came from very humble beginnings. I actually was temporarily homeless for about 1 week in SF, but I had a car so it wasn’t to bad. I literally cried when I got my signup bonus in my bank account
I'm doing staff Aug. Great balance in work life us all the good training that comes from consulting
Make money money make money money Money!
Never put much thought into it. Got let go from fin svcs in 2011 and needed a job and the only bites I got were from consulting firms
^^ nailed it
Originally planned to do it for a couple years after MBA and then exit to a cushy industry job. 12 years later and still here! I think I might be bored going to industry at this point, so sticking with it until I don't enjoy it anymore
Corporate job in Industry sucked. Consulting is much more interesting.
Used to be in risk/internal audit, got an MBA and switched to consulting. I love problem solving and the debate of ideas, plus the exposure to senior executives and their agendas at a relatively young age. The vast majority of my colleagues are super-smart and push me to be a better professional everyday, whereas I found the audit world to be full of mediocre and dull people. Obviously the bump in pay was a huge plus, and I love travel (most of the time.)
@A6 agree about the people--people in consulting are refreshingly smart
I like the variety of experiences and the constant learning.
I wanted to travel and make money
I wanted to try consulting thinking I would be exposed to a wide variety of things. That has not been the case and now, I’m here because I’m a little trapped (money; hassle of finding new role; etc)
Money and experience. But now I am second guessing the money part because I live in the bay area and can make serious dough outside of consulting.
honestly, i went with the flow and destiny led me into the consulting world
I really, really enjoy case studies. The recruiter said that’s what you do in consulting so here I am
I hate my job in the same team, year over year. I rally wanted to be able to do new things and interact with new people. Consulting allows that.
I expect to build my expertise and return to industry. But who knows?
Money.
Paycheck
I hated being in industry ~8 years
It’s the best business school you can pursue and you get paid for it.
