Work hard, play harder.
Pros: You want challenges? You will be pushed to the very limits. Interesting and varied consulting projects, working with some of the smartest and the best and travel to far flung places in consultant level comfort. If you are willing to make an effort, what you gain in a year of consulting will be equivalent to 3 years in industry.
Cons: Demanding customers (external and internal), pressure to produce work at sometimes unrealistic high levels, if you let it you will be leveraged to the breaking point (multiple projects, practice development, sales opportunities at the same time), heavy travel requirement upto 100% travel to the nicest places on earth (Minneapolis in January, ouch). Competitive work culture where everyone is your frenemy.
