Top level talent never joined consulting in the first place. Wall St is considered by most a more desirable and prestigious career path. It's also usually more lucrative.
Traders and investment bankers especially consider consultants to be major losers (including me).

- boringg 6y agoArguably consultants help clients (obviously not in this case), traders are just facilitators of capital and executing on behalf of higher ups. They make money on large volumes of flow but provide no great service aside from liquidity or to line their clients pockets. iBankers on the buy side at least have to understand where the markets are going. Or have I missed what value the traders do? :)
- refurb 6y agoNo doubt you fit right in to Wall St. Typically IB and consulting at the top 3 are both very prestigious.
- smt88 6y agoTop-level talent never did either of the miserable jobs of mgmt consulting or ibanking. They can make as much (or more) doing something more enjoyable with fewer hours and a better culture.
