Consulting prospects in Pittsburgh area

Could use some insight from the group here.

I am currently looking to pivot to Consulting and specifically trying to target the Pittsburgh area. I currently work in a BB / trading in NY. The motivation is more family/partner related.

What are some of the consulting firms in Pittsburgh? I believe MCK and BCG along with a few of the Tier 2 firms. How is the culture working at an MBB or Tier 2 in Pittsburgh? What are some of the "project" that a Pittsburgh consulting firm would focus on? For folks who work in this area - do you enjoy it? or would you prefer pivoting to a different location?

​Any thoughts here would be great!
