Hi 🐠, need your help considering two career options. Have been a management consultant at a B4 firm ~4 years (promoted to SC level a couple years ago). Would a move to either Guidehouse or Slalom be career enhancing or career limiting? (Long term, will having either company on my resume be a + or - for potential future opportunities down the road?) both teams seem like good people & good culture from what I can tell, so considering additional factors to weigh which is the best choice. TIA!!

If both offer roughly the same salary, do you think one may be better than the other? (GH vs slalom)

Are you in advisory or management? Your title says otherwise.

I was an advisory C at B4 and was hired as SC at GH in management consulting. IMHO it was worth pivoting direction. And GH and Slalom aren’t exactly small name boutiques so no I don’t think it’s career limiting. It won’t be too difficult to get back to B4 if you had to, or exit to industry. Lots of ex-B4 at GH.

You’ll want to come in as a manager though. At lest show career progression.

At my firm management consulting sits within the Advisory arm (the 3 main groups are tax, audit, and advisory). Not sure how fishbowl chose my title tbh.

Have you preferred GH to B4? What are the main differences you‘ve experienced?

Also that’s a good point about career progression. At Slalom I believe most people have the “Consultant” title forever unless they transition to a leadership position. Do you think a static title is problematic?

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.
