I QUIT My Management Consulting Job after 1 year. Here's why 

thank you! Like I said, consulting is still an amazing first job, and I'll never regret having gone into it! Good luck with your consulting career :)

@@Jason_lai Thank you🙌

@@oneinemily I am a former consultant. If you are early in your career, and able to get a junior-level consulting role, go for it. Echoing some of the things Jason said, the hours and intensity of the work can be tough, but if you're in your early 20s, you have the stamina and few personal commitments (am assuming no spouse / kids) to put everything into your work. Nominally at my firm (a Tier 2 firm, just below MBB), we were supposed to work around 55 hours a week, but in reality it was often closer to 80 (late nights were common and weekend work was frequent). Quite literally, nearly every minute of my day was time blocked. I did consulting though in my 30s and with a wife and infant, so this made the schedule more challenging for me (e.g., had less energy / stamina than in my 30s). I also joined consulting as a mid-career entry, which I generally do not recommend.

I am a finance consultant at a Big4. I can definitely recommend it! I learned so much and i regularly notice how much weight the brand has on your resume and how people perceive you.

@@111-v7f That's great, thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the reply!! I too think it is a wild decision haha but just felt like the right thing to do, especially thinking from first principles. We will see how it goes and thanks for the support, will need all the luck I need haha

that's really cool! Happy to see you figuring out what you want to do

Say no more!! Stay tuned :)

Thank you for the kind words!

Thanks for the support! Will be posting even better, more exciting content so stay tuned :)

Thanks man! It's going to be an exciting ride!

Thanks for the support!!

I would still 100% encourage someone to go into consulting. I wouldn't have known I that consulting is not for me unless I went into it. And even if I do enjoy it personally, I'll be lying if I say the brand name, the experience won't help me in the future. Good luck and hope you get into HEC paris!

@@Jason_lai Thank you so much for the advice!

thanks man!!

Yea! And I don't think this is a firm-specific problem, and maybe not even a consulting specific problem. In my mind this feels like a problem across professional service jobs and probably common across other job types too. Like I mentioned, it just felt right to explore, experiment and f*ck up when you're iun your early 20s! Thanks for the support man!

Thank youuuuu

Glad you found it insightful!

Stayed tuned haha will be doing a bit of travelling too
