Okay guys, I am really interested how you would answer following question:
(Long-term goal: Strategy T1/T2)
Big4 Advisory/ Consulting
vs.
Hidden Champion (brand not popular)
vs.
small or large Boutique (á la Stern Stewart, goetzpartners, OC&C, AlixPartners, FTI Andersch, …)
How do you perceive them in terms of
- Exit to industry
- Exit to Consulting (Strategy T1/T2)
- Learning opportunities
- Selection/ Interview process
- …
How long should one stay there on average?
Thank you for your insights!

Hello there!
congratulations on securing your offers! Please celebrate this victory!
I think many personal factors are also important in the decision, but from a professional point of view, I would say:
1. How to choose?
You will work equally hard any consulting, but MBB/known one will give you:
- Much stronger CV stamp, better exit opportunity
- Better pay
- More prestigious projects to work on (strategy vs. functional projects, top firms)
2. Exit opportunity
Good consulting firm s overall offer you a way better professional opportunity to exit given its reputation, learnings you take away, network, etc. Moreover, many have career service and in fact, they can find you a great job
Large consulting also offer the possibility to transfer around the world applying to some of their internal position or different career programs.
On top any consulting will prepare you well for interview with MBB.
If you would like to explore deeper, please feel free to reach out directly.
Wishing you all the best,
Lucie

Hi, it strongly depends on the geography. In some cities there are excellent boutiques, really appreciated by tier 1-2 firms.
Regarding the big 4 instead I recommend looking for the strategy dpt, e.g. Monitor Deloitte, EY Parthenon, Strategy&

Hi there,
This is going to be SO dependent on region and the specific “Hidden Champion” and specific Boutique.
You're asking us to compare 4 companies with 100 companies with 30 companies…
Overall though, the Tier 4 will have a better exit + pay. Overall the boutique will have better learning opportunities.
Network to find out more!
