I’ve noticed a lot of consulting opportunities for companies like Visa and Microsoft. What’s the major difference between the work you do for product firms vs at a Big 4 Deloitte EY PwC ? Is there a difference in pay, WLB? Are there opps for generalists that don’t want to do program management, e.g. internal strategy or process design & improvement

Work is external consulting but mostly with issuers, processors, fintechs, or merchants. Lots on payment strategies and other tends (digital, loyalty, crypto). Definitely better WLB I would think.

Curious to see what others have to say. I’ve worked with consultants from both type of companies and this is again a generalist vs specialist kind of a question. Let’s hear the fishes.

Consultant at Google chiming in. Can’t really speak to the visa/Mastercard aspect of it, but To the Microsoft part… I do a lot of what you’d do in a transformation practice. Migrations, architectural oversight, app buildouts etc. if the engagement is large enough we’ll involve a partner and then my job changes to architectural/tech strategy and relationship management with the client and partner.

It varies by role, but in cloud at GCP/AWS/Azure and probably at places like Salesforce or Adobe you’re doing much of the same. Implementation/optimization.
