That MBB consulting is a 65hr / week job.
Someone needs to be there for the Ps when they change their minds over and over and last minute. The difference comes when higher ups are also getting dirty and are operators, like at A&M. There's also high incentive to sell 65 hours at 45 and to eat the Delta.
I would add few that I learned over the years
1. Finding your tribe (people whose working style gels with you) is more important than type of studies you do for your success and sanity
2. There will be managers who will throw you under the bus and you can’t do anything about it except striking them off your best list
3. Your mental health will become really important and center of attention at some point in your career
4. Having loving and supportive relationships and partners is really important to sustain in this profession happily
Anything else my friends ? I am sure we have learned something more than just long hours about this profession
Areas for development
There’s an actual career path. I worked for some large enterprise companies and some startups in the past; there was never any understanding of how to get promoted or what to work on to develop. Now I have regular PD chats, performance reviews actually mean something, and I know when I can expect to be eligible for promotion.
