Parthenon (currently working with industry leader in their field to determine new product growth opportunities). Minimal client interaction till CTL/Vp/partner level. They work directly with CSuite but even then only 2-3 in person check ins on average project, which leads to minimal client exposure at my level.. Though it does happen rarely

I would have preferred my last engagement to be 80% remote delivery

I love my team and my senior manager but the travel sucks. I recently got engaged and wish I didn't have to spend so much time away from my fiancée.

I currently work for a firm with minimal to no travel. We are "strategy" consultants and we advise on product growth opportunities, market entry, investments etc. I've missed the client interaction aspect of the job and wanted to hear the other side of the story.

OP what firm? I will apply soon!

That's an interesting perspective. I'm actually on the look out for such work. I'm at that point where work life balance is a key parameter, above pay & growth.

Yes OP what firm is this? It sounds awesome

Currently on a remote project but managing one consultant in same city as me. Does it reflect badly on me if I tell him to work from home because I want to work from home? I don't think we need to see each other everyday to do a good job, but he seems like the type to come into the office anyway.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

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.
