Hi everyone,
I would be very interested to get some more insights into the differences between inhouse and regular strategy consulting. Has one of you worked in both fields and can share some insights or give recommendations what to prefer?

Thank you for your question!
I am happy to answer your question as I have worked for an inhouse consulting firm as well as for "regular" strategy consulting companies. First, I would definitely agree to Denisa's comment that there are more similarities than differences. I think it also depends on what kind of person you are and what is important to you.
I enjoyed both ways of working but in the end I would recommend the regular strategy consulting to people who are entering the job market for the first time. In my point of view in regular strategy consulting the huge advantage is that you get to know so many industries, project topics, and clients. Every project is unique and every project will broaden your knowledge and your skill set.
Happy to tackle this one as I have both experiences to compare. Overall I would say there are more similarities than differences (dynamic project work in changing environments, the famous steep learning curve, lots of responsibility and strong personal development). However, I have noticed some key differences:
