Which way is the split going? You're a little unclear here. A 60/40 split, with the consultant taking 40% is standard fare in many markets, but I have heard it's often less favorable in NYC, Boston, DC and the Silicon Valley. I have never consulted for a firm in any of these locations, so I can't provide an answer. If you're talking about a 70/30 split with you taking 30%, I would say it mostly depends on whether or not the 30% is adequate for you personally. If you're talking about a 70/30 split with you taking 70%, you would be very hard-pressed to find a more favorable split.
