What keeps you motivated and what do you love about consulting besides the money? Isn’t just sitting around waiting to be told what to do boring and makes you feel stupid?

Only good thing about consulting is a good exit

like

Variety of work, generally clever people and continuous learning. Also pick a range of skills which makes you quite desirable when exiting out of consulting.

Good guess 😂

The continuous learning. You’re essentially a (relatively) high IQ gun-for-hire at the lower grades and keeping yourself entertained through learning and getting paid for it is why it’s worth coming back.

That, and attractive exit options when you leave.

$1.5M client and new “profitability tool” showing %0 profit. Credit split 50/50 btw 20 year attorney/equity partner (JEP) and a much more senior/connected EP (SEP). Both SEP and JEP developed separate workstreams unrelated to the other. SEP‘s was terminated 3 years ago and only accounts for $200K trail off of the $1.5M. SEP’s salary is 3 times JEP’s. Profitability tool “costs” are not transparent, suspect SEP’s high salary is a factor. Anything (other than typical overhead) to ask about?

Would you ever accept a ground-floor bedroom facing the street (but set back from the pavement) in London? Residential, upscale zone 2 neighbourhood (think Victoria Park Village, East Dulwich, Fulham), but like everywhere in London, there are some rougher bits nearby. I sleep with the window open for fresh air, so I’m concerned about burglary and assault (I’m a woman). There’s the option of using an internal bedroom instead, but it’s not nearly as nice as the street-facing one.
