Boutique Consulting

Hi there!

Congratulations!

1) Honestly, it depends. It depends on which companies we're comparing. It depends on what vertical you go into. Which Partners take you under their wing. What opportunities you chase etc. etc.

I would say that, in general, consulting of all types has a super high propensity to rapid learning, regardless of the company

2) Exit opportunities will assuredly not be as vast as when leaving MBB, particularly international opportunities. Brand matters. Name/prestige on your resume is half of the exit opportunity. However, that's not to say your company won't have them. If they are well respected, especially in Indonesia, and it is led by an ex-MBBer, I'm sure opportunities will come your way :)

Dear A,

I was also starting my consulting career in a boutique firm, which was leading in consulting in 4 financial srvices in Germany, Central and Eastern Europe.

Regarding your question. First of all, the learning curve could be quite stip, because in comparison with MBB and Tier 2 consulting company like Roland Berger, Strategy& or others you've mentioned. This is also due to the fact that you would be able to take more responsibility sooner. However the pay is less and exit options are more limited compared to the other big players, especially, if you want to look for job not in the local market but also internationally.

I think, this is a great opportunity to start your career in consultin and after 2-3 years you can always switch to one of the biggest players as I did at the beginning of my career.

If you need any particular career advice, drop me a line. I'm happy to share my experience.

Best,

André

Hello!

Congrats!

My two cents:

1. Will be steep, particularly compared to the industry, but probable less high-paced compared to MBB.
2. For sure good, particularly since you say it´s the #1 boutique in Indonesia. However, it will be more narrowed than MBB, towards the industry here this boutique is leader, and mainly among their clients.

Hope it helps!

Best,

Clara
