Scale has a significant impact on your job w plenty of pros and cons. Smaller firms typically allow for (and demand) more entrepreneurialism, but provide far fewer resources. A friend of mine who was ex-BCG did a summer at Monitor and couldn’t believe how limited its research desk was (ended up at McKinsey). I’m former Big 4 and I appreciate that I can (and must) cover a far wider solution set now. Everyone is different though.

All the same everywhere. It's consulting.

ATk1 I'm at Big4 now but would be interested to be more entrepreneurial. Also do you mean at Monitor there isn't a huge research group?
