Just left after 3.5 years. Great place to cash in and bounce but the market isn’t likely to regrow at the same volume soon. I expect a lot more required relocations to KSA and focus on defense and aero. If the conjecture is true, probably a better industry for specialists in than the conventional generalist model of consultancies

Very true

Not pathetic, it’s always been the 2nd best market (after the US obviously) in terms of consulting compensation by a large margin

Thoughts on long-term (5-30 years) fate of the market for consulting in London? I’m considering a move from outside UK but some have argued that London market is “just a fight over the increasingly diminishing pie”, despite the temporary uptick in consulting work now to deal with corona& Brexit. Perhaps I should hit Asia or US.
