I will just say that the big 4 can offer a wonderful and fulfilling career but do not discount boutique work. I loved my start ups and smaller clients WAY more than dealing with the most “bougie” clients (the ones that make the products we use every day in tech). I can’t speak for strategy though.
Friendlier, less politics, and more willing to listen to real change recommendations! Always a big factor
Kinda sorta similar background, 8yoe in industry then pivoted into B4 consulting. Used this role to build core consulting skills (esp client delivery and BD) over a few years then pivoted again into a broader strategy role (albeit not in consulting). Sure doing so from Mbb/T2 wouldve provided my exit ops, but feeling just fine about where I ended up. So my take, get your feet wet at the boutique, used it to prove yourself and resume/comp boost, make some mistakes, get a lay of the land, then you’ll learn where your next step should be.
Same thing. I went to big 4 to kind of “prove myself” because small/midsized firms only see big 4 on the resume, nothing else.
Consulting experience is very unlikely to hinder your ability to work at other firms
Makes sense - didn’t want to get hamstrung by entering something more boutique. Thanks for the confirmation!

Consulting experience > no consulting experience
Short and sweet - thanks!
