If you want to do consulting, try to find a different place to do it.
Pros: Pretty easy work. The place is not stressful and there is not a lot of pressure. I know people with 50% billable hours that still got promotions. If you look hard you can find interesting projects.
Cons: The people are fairly incompetent and it gets worse as you go up the food chain... Some of managment and some of the partners are terrible, they overpromise work to clients and then push back on analysts and consultants to bill fewer hours. Most of the projects are second rate operations or Sox, as the really good ones go to the big 3 firms (Mck, Bcg, Bain).
