I've been in management consulting, albeit with a firm that would probably be #4 or 5 on that list. It was early career so I don't want to overstate my expertise here - take this for what it's worth: Consider your work-life balance. I know these places always show up on "best places to work" lists, but for the life of me, I have no idea how. Maybe it's because I'm the wrong personality fit, but if you are not a workaholic, it's tough going in consulting. The money may be better in the long run, but it's high burnout for a reason. And even if you do make that exit to the C-suite, those guys work hard too. Not a definitive answer, just something to consider.
