Avantages
You’ll pick up a ton of skills really quickly proper crash course in consulting across a load of industries. Learning, and plenty of chances to prove yourself. If you're early in your career and want to stack your CV, it ticks the box. Some weekend travel’s a nice touch too.
Inconvénients
The work/life balance is honestly shocking. Long hours are the norm, and with most projects being understaffed, you're constantly stretched. Burnout feels inevitable. There's no clear staffing model either it’s reactive, chaotic, and you’re often left picking up the slack. Also, diversity’s a serious issue especially at leadership level. Feels like one type of person with one type of background calling the shots, which limits fresh thinking and inclusivity.
