Consulting has great people and challenging work, but burnout, travel, and long road to partner
Pros: Work with great talent. PwC recruits thousands of college and experienced resources every year. You can work there for 5 years and work with different teams. Client work can be challenging and you learn a lot
Cons: Travel is a grind, at Director level, the expectation is you carry the partner's water and travel to 3 or 4 cities a week. Ambiguous path to partner, based on fuzzy math, relationships vs. straight performance. Very difficult to make partner if you aren't located in a major hub (i.e. not in NYC if you are in Financial Services, not in bay area if you are in Tech).
