Like the above mentioned, it’s vastly different for each type of service and even location. I would say the most general differences are: 1) smaller teams and more projects, I’m juggling 3-4 clients at the same time throughout the year, 2) more travel, and 3) more networking and actively pursuing projects.

I love risk consulting —> internal audit. Higher salary than external audit, less hours, great experience

Step 1 - do some research on “consulting” and “advisory” and ask your question again. Advisory service lines are incredibly diverse and generally highly specialized - do you want to work in M&A, or internal control, or system implementations, or technical accounting advisory or or or?

The two that stick out to me are management consulting or deals. But I’d like to see in general what different people’s experiences are

What kind of work are you doing in your projects?

Great move. Better over on this side

I do risk consulting basically reviewing business loss and system performance in the entertainment and utilities sector. A lot of client face to face and data analysis work

What kind of DA and what kind of MC? Those groups both split down into many different offerings
