Hi,

I would say "Most".

There is definitely life after consulting, but you should consider several factors.

Cons:

  • In the developed countries your friends who stay in consulting will most probably grow much faster than you in terms of the career and that can be frustrating
  • You will probably have fewer perks (travel, insurance)
  • Consulting has a high concentration of smart people and it's hard to replicate

Pros

  • In the developing countries if you leave consulting you can get a huge upside
  • Your work life balance will be certainly better
  • You can start specializing on something (e.g. become a product manager, etc). A functional specialist with 3-5 years of relevant experience + consulting experience is much more competitive on the market than generalist MBB manager

Hi Anonymous,

it completely depends on the opportunity you are following after consulting. If you move to an industry role in a relatively junior position, hours are usually better but the job may be less challenging/interesting. If you move to PE/ VC/own startup hours may be similar or even worst but the job is equally if not more interesting based on my experience (I did VC and my own startup).

Best,

Francesco
