Which office?

Generally speaking. Have an opportunity to sit in a couple based on my licenses & considering an out of state move as well.

It seems like the hours are round the clock crazy. But the people seem really awesome. I have not worked there, this is just what I’ve learned from watching others that have worked there.

Which office is important! The group generally is busy, does good work, but who you work with can make all the difference as is the case most places.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
