Anyone here doing strategy in Pittsburgh?

Hey everyone!  I just got an MBB offer as an SA in Pittsburgh. I am only asking out of curiosity (living in Pittsburgh is pretty much non-negotiable for me at this stage), and I was wondering what people's experiences were like.  I believe there are big4 consulting practices in Pitt as well?

What is your lifestyle like, and what kind of projects did you take on?  How are exit opportunities -- were you or anyone you know able to pivot into working for companies in Pitt?
