Depends on the support they receive. Top performers with little mentorship leave in a heartbeat. Top performers who feel taken care of and who have a strong support system stay

Have heard from multiple BCG + executive mentors that the ones that stick with consulting tend to be the middle performers

Probably very local, but have the feeling only the top performers who really love consulting stay. Rest gets pulled out due to more interesting opportunities

It depends. But M1 has the right idea.

Completely agree with M1. It is all about the support for top performers. If they feel like they are being appreciated and have the ability to progress as they are ready, then it is worth it to stay.

All the top performers I know have eventually left. They got tired of firm politics and tenure-focused promotion cycles.

Hello,
London is a world class metropolitan city and so is the cost of livi.
But then why don't MAANG or other big techs pay as high for software managers and other leadership roles as they do in the USA, particularly California, Washington, New York. In fact for the same role, $ salaries are at least 3X higher to their counterparts roles here in London.
Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?

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)
