Associate Consultant
Pros: Plenty of exposure to a variety of projects and great place for learning if that is your primary goal. Because there are multiple small projects, if you are lucky you can get the exposure to be on a variety of them at a young age.

They also encourage alot of learning on your own time, albeit self learning through their platform or udemy which is free for staff.
Cons: Low pay, long hours, really high staff attrition rate.

Expectation to at times perform work that a manager or above does. There is no differentiation in hierarchy when it comes to delivery and scope of work, but there is a differentiation of compensation for the same work done.

Expect to see your batch mates or colleagues come and go within months as only those who truly enjoy the steep learning curve will stay. This can prove to be demoralising after some time when you see the colleagues you've built strong relationships with, leave.
