The hardest part is to get in and not getting fired🤣

@vrvrvr81 2 года назад

Getting in yes, it's competitive. However, once you are in, you usually won't get fired. You will realized the place is no longer for you and you will leave or you will simpli get better opportunity.

@vrvrvr81 2 года назад

Btw. from my experience, it's usually not the clients that push you hard, it's usually the pressure we put on ourselves. It's never the client saying at 6 PM "tomorrow morning I expect 100 pages deck on my table" ;)

@sv-bd5em 2 года назад

That's a very good point! The only Big 4 I'd consider is Deloitte althought it doesn't have the MBB reputation but I do know they work on implementation a lot as well as the theory so it would help to an extent with exit opportunities.

@rudolphdandelion6840 Год назад

But they pay miserably low for the works done.

@prashantchauhan1440 Год назад

and long hours, what do you think about that?

@alexd4566 11 месяцев назад

⁠@@rudolphdandelion6840Old comment but as someone who just recently got an offer from Deloitte, I wholeheartedly agree. I actually had to hold in my laughter when I heard they offered me €500/MONTH below market price. It’s insultingly low for the amount of hours you’re expected to work.

@lucastononrodrigues1069 2 года назад

I left MBB general consulting track because the salary was miserable when comparing to other opportunities in a developing country such as Brazil. Growth tech and startups would pay more for 9-5 jobs and even having a faster career path (at least for the first 5-7 years). IB would pay 3x+ consulting salary for a very similar amount of working hours. Then I left for another MBB in Europe to work as a Data Scientist, where the salary gap to IB and Growth tech is not that big

@nikhilpachauri5761 2 года назад

I think those reasons are applicable for any industry where one has to face clients or senior management

@FirmLearning 2 года назад

Agree! Similar reasons definitely hold true in other industries as well.

@shastasilverchairsg 2 года назад

So what are the typical exits from consulting? Especially if one has been in a senior role for a long time and lack specific hands-on industry experience.

@FirmLearning 2 года назад

Depends on the role you are leaving from. IMHO the sweet spot is early project lead.

Thanks...I like to solve problems and I was interested in consulting...but after watching this video I am no longer interested as I like both theory + practical..I like work life balance .. So consulting isn't for me...Are there any other career options similar to consultancy but without these drawbacks?

@timmagaling Год назад

Best is to create your own business and solve your own cases :))

@FirmLearning Год назад

Definitely lots of opportunities. Currently working in Software / SaaS, lots of exciting positions in this industry as well! Best, Heinrich

no fixed rule here, also depends on your historic performance and network of supporters. Though after 2 consecutive bad projects it might become a challenge.
