Is Roland Berger a good potential move? I’m currently an SC with 5 years experience and interviewing at RB, for an SC role. It would be within their Regulated Utilities practice which aligns with my interests in Energy & Utilities. As part of my company research, I’ve been reading about how it is doing badly, but nothing regarding the current state. I know RB is doing badly in MENA, but there’s not much out there regarding London. Appreciate any insights!
Currently considering an opportunity at Partners in Performance (recently acquired by Accenture) and would genuinely love to hear from anyone who has worked there recently or knows the firm well. Would be really interested to hear honest thoughts on: • day-to-day culture • work/life balance in reality • how intense the travel actually is • what the Accenture integration feels like in practice Posts online about PiP are fairly limited. Thanks!
Hot take: Unless you are in MBB or select tier 2, I don’t think consulting in London is worth doing long term. Every other tier (Big 4, specialist, or tier 3) is only fair to do a few years before exiting to a brand name in the industry or into MBB/ brand name tier 2. Why: Outside the top tier, pay is not competitive despite hours. Path to partnership is increasingly uncertain. Even as Partner at a smaller firm/big 4, the effort to pay ratio is not great. Thoughts?
As a consultant (3 YOE) is it normal to find majority of my colleagues incompetent / lacking basic common sense? Is it a sign I am I in the wrong firm / profession? I really don't mean to be arrogant / rude but I can't help but find it mind boggling how some of my colleagues manage to get this far and consider them borderline con artist. Is this a normal feeling?
Better than efficio any day of the week
Thanks, just came back from MENA where I was hearing of their constant issues (bit of an echo chamber), good to know
London office is a sinking ship - don't join
Sounds like someone who got laid off...
