How’s Consulting at T1/T2 in the UK different than that in the US? Consider all aspects such as client interactions, socializing, WLB, attire, meetings, promotion criteria, etc.

More similar than different. I think differences will mostly come down to general cultural differences between the two countries, but overall ways of working are likely similar.

At my firm, I think the caliber of new hire talent is slightly higher in the UK, due to the higher applicant to open position ratio in London. US firms have more offices and hire more applicants.

Again, at my firm only, the US teams had more power distance between partners and junior consultants, which surprised me a little.

Agree on more power distance comment. Just generally more hierarchical in the US. Less client-facing time for juniors.

Attire at my UK MBB = ubiquitous white sneakers and outfits that go with them

IMO, attire is driven a lot l by what the client follows and the industry they're part of. And I'd expect this to be pretty consistent across the UK and the US...unless I'm completely off track?
Also keen to know, do the T1 consulting firms also foster a "dress for your day" culture?

Same. Just ask around / pay attention. Seems that for internal calls, anything goes. Client facing calls is at least presentable.

OP are you doing a transfer to the UK firm from the US firm?

I’m a manager too and *hoping* for a base of around £85k
