Reports are that the average tenure of people in top consulting firms is 2.4 years. Interesting how the industry is even shorter. Thoughts?

Also a lot of these companies haven’t even been around 30+ years so to expect the average tenure to be high is unrealistic. Most of us are older than some of these companies

I was at FB for about a year. I think I had been there longer than 40% off employees. It’s wasn’t attrition. FB was hiring like crazy.

Plus tech folks just hop around more.

What is the source for this?

Agreed. However, the stats are available elsewhere and I have noted they are consistent with this article.

Do any of the top consulting firms have analytics roles (preferably not super technical) that don’t require weekly travel?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

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.
