Absolutely; consulting is probably only 25% of the MBA job pool and while they are usually the highest-paid, many people choose to take a slightly lower salary in exchange for not a job that has less travel. Pretty much all of those jobs require long hours as well, but at least you can go home at the end of the night.
- storgendibal 12y agoWhat's very annoying about consulting, even at the MBBs is that the total compensation is not higher than in big tech when you include equity, at least for the first 3-4 years. Yet the lifestyle is significantly worse. After you hit Associate Principal (at McKinsey) or Manager (at Bain), then it really leaves big tech behind in terms of compensation.
