I switched from audit to consulting, and I thought I’d enjoy my job since I’m no longer ticking the box.. doing something that’s more challenging (what people said lol) .. helping the client etc etc but honestly the job seems pretty much the same. I still work on meaningless BS stuff.
Is it because I’m not in ‘real’ (strategy) consulting? I do process improvement / CFO advisory. Or are all corporate jobs pretty much the same other than the pay / wlb (which is def. better)

It depends entirely on the project. In my experience the work we're selling right now is pretty meaningless but I've heard of some that sound really neat.

I am actually looking to move into CFO advisory right now. I thought it will be interesting job to give out strategic advice to CFO. But doesn’t sound like that? Or it really depends on the client’s need? Sounds like the same world everywhere lol.
