Trying to decide between PwC Managed Services in Risk and Regulatory Compliance and West Monroe M&A consulting. Both are in healthcare/life sciences practice. I'm relatively early career and would like to know which would be the better option for career growth, learning opportunities/mentorship, and longer term outlook/success. Excited about both opportunities, but any advice or guidance is appreciated. Thanks

WM M&A for sure. You’re comparing an internal facing role vs external facing. Rep wise PwC is slightly better but WM is still solid and you’ll gain so much more experience as well as exit ops

Monroe in this situation, will likely be more geindy though than managed services. But more interesting work. Also you don't have to deal with compliance stuff of the big 4.

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.
