Just wondering, what really motivates [Big 4] consultants? Not much value creation, people *can* to be arrogant and egotistical although not incredibly smart, shitty hours, and [almost] shitty pay.

All kidding aside, you should really proofread prior to sending. It's not arrogance, just a desire to provide excellent service to clients...thus why Big 4 consultants are so successful and sought after.

I love my job. I can't think of another career (with the same work demands) that provides quick upward mobility and has such intelligent leadership. I'll be a manager by next year, and definitely ahead of all my industry friends at the same age. I know it gets increasingly demanding as you move up, but so does every career. Not sure if I will stay until partner, but I can't imagine myself in industry right now.

The pay may be shitty at first but not many other careers provides a steady raise every year. It pays off in the long term. My husband's starting salary in industry was higher than mine, but I already made more than him 3 years later and obviously that gap is growing every year.

D2 - proofreading corrects grammar; not a thought process. But you make a good point. Exceptional client service may be a motivation for some, but it cannot be a driver for all consultants. So I guess the solution is, if you are not a great fan of serving clients, then don't be in consulting.

Also, I'm not saying all Big 4 consultants are arrogant. But there are many!

Person above this (too long to type 😊)...very good point.
