Has anyone had offers from multiple consulting firms? Was there any major deciding factor besides compensation? Having a difficult time deciding which is the best move for me. Any advice would help. Thanks.

Was I this position two years ago, had no intention staying for long so I went for the one with the better brand & exit ops

If comp is equal, go with the one that’ll provide best exit opportunities should you want to leave eventually

"Better brand" advice is not helpful if it's any of the Big 4. Your project experience will mostly be the same. Things like culture, staffing process, etc. might help you decide

Are aggressive non-competes show stoppers for direct admit partners at MBB & T2? I'm a partner at a small boutique firm and we have very tight non-competes. Biggest issue is a 9 month period before starting new role at competing firm. I'm being recruited by a few firms. The recruiters seem to think it's a non issue but wonder if when it gets to offer stage it becomes a show stopper when partners realize I may not be able to start for 9 months. How do your firms handle these situations?
