I’ve worked at couple companies in strategy or management consulting and honestly don’t think there’s that big of a difference between most of the big firms, even in how clients perceive them (to a point). Do you place a lot of emphasis on the “prestige” of the firm or where you have the best growth and work experience?

When I first started, I was much more concerned with the perceived prestige of firms but feel like I didn’t know better that that point. Nowadays, I feel like other factors are much more important.

For me, the other factors are opportunities for development, enjoyment of the work, relationships with leaders, and employee benefits offered.

Agreed....I'd also say Prestige is usually because the job needs to be prestigious to get someone to do it....so they often aren't the "best" jobs in terms of what they do for you as a person

I think that is spot on. I honestly kind of feel like the whole consulting industry is that way to an extent. When I was in school, everything was sold as the prestige that so many felt like they had to be a part of.
