Given no personal ties to either economy, what are the advantages of working as a strategy consultant in a developed market like UK/US vs. emerging economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, for example. How does the nature of the work differ? I would assume in the former (developed economies), consultants are trying to squeeze out an additional few percentages of profitability out of hundred year old companies. I would assume in the latter (developed economies), consultants are working in a Greenfield; they'll probably be figuring out how to put companies on the path to market leader status. This is just my guess, but I'd love to hear from the PrepLounge community. :)
