Quick Question for Software Developers at PwC, EY, Mckinsey.

Hows your experience so far working as a developer in a consulting company? Hows your WLB? Compensation? Lets not compare compensation with Product and FAANGs coz I’m trying to compare consulting companies. I am curious about others experience since I am planning to jump.

My take: I personally love working at a D and want to stay in consulting, short term projects, good tech stack so far, learning curve. WLB is not so bad. 85k

McK Solutions dev here. WLB is much, much better. A few hours of OT/week here and there. Weekend deployments sometimes.

Comp is probably a bit lower than FAANG but still competitive, I’d say. If it wasn’t I wouldn’t still be working here.

Career progression is slower than the consultants but I knew what I was signing up for.

Was always on projects which operate in 9-5 timings. As I’m homegrown compensation is not too great but I’m happy with the kind of work and wlb which to me is a priority. Other than having to deal with some dumb Managers who doesn’t know anything technical, it has been a nice 3.5 years at EY.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
