The Mass Absorbs the Talent, But Vestiges of Possibility Remain
Pros: - The people you meet who are interesting are very interesting, sincere, and thoughtful
- Great diversity in the types of projects you can take on
- "Any work you do is worth 2-3X the same duration spent in Industry"
Cons: - Many stressed, tired middle-managers trying to make partner, who are liable to make your own life equivalently stressful
- While projects are diverse, many are very boring, and strictly analytical/process-oriented -- if you're looking for real strategic discussions, rather than tactics, or perhaps a blend of different skillsets -- this isn't the job for you. The whole idea is to create something that can be copied and pasted for a future client -- intelligent customization is off the table
- Try calculating your salary by the hour, and looking at your work-life balance, and THEN compare to "Industry"
- Hugely hierarchal -- to be expected, but hardly optimal -- just another restatement of the generality and standardness of policy here. It's all about "covering all bases," not trying to do anything perfect.
