You’ll get used to it. Made a similar move and strategy consulting REALLY ISNT HARD it’s just tiring (long hours, have to bust ass to improve)

Congrats! I see you are a tech consultant now. May I ask how did you move to strategy from tech? I’m planning on doing something similar in a year or two, but I’m afraid I will pigeonhole myself into tech.

Sorry only seeing this now, I’m moved to the tech consulting division within an MBB- in the big4 I worked for I was also tech consulting :)

Very, but you’ll be fine if you put in the work

Received offer from BCG for ECT AD role. Read numerous comments about ECT being not attractive compared to Generalists track. Also heard challenges about billability/utilization. Any views/guidance is appreciated.

Background - I am not super keen to become an equity partner and comfortable to stay on ECT track. Main reason to join will be opportunity to work with different clients, smart talented people and good brand. I may consider going back to industry after 3-5 years in ECT.
