Impact tangibility- faster results more quant focused work, exposure to senior leadership at companies of all sizes,

in consulting depending on the project you could be interfacing with a mid level VP most days or sometimes CXOs or one tier below, a lot of digital or customer focused work that can feel the same after a point
