Hello!

Those are very very detailed questions, since they totally depend on the office/region. Hence, it will be difficult that you find insightful answers in blogs like this. 

I would recommend you to use this as an opportunity for networking, and you will kill two birds with one stone. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

I see a strong advantage in having access to an office. It will provide much better support in your learning (and staffing) experience. 

Regarding type of projects, you will have to network to have a better understanding of the local situation. Without specific knowledge, I would believe Kearney to have a better chance of having more “pure strategy” projects. But once again, local office reality is more important than high level perspective on the firm.

I think you are trying to think further ahead than required. Give your 100% to the process first and secure offers.

Meanwhile, speak to some people from these offices - they would be in a better position to answer these questions.

Most projects in strategy consulting firm can be deemed as “pure strategy” projects. You must clarify your own definition of “pure strategy” before moving ahead.
