Pros & Cons of Careers of Small Consulting Firms
I AM biased (see link below) but my experience leads me to recommend considering smaller consulting firms and their relative advantages, especially if you are making a transition from IB to Consulting.
At small firms the career path is more entrepreneurial, and a little riskier than working for a larger brand, but the potential is there for extremely fast-tracked career growth. Small shops are specialized, and some of these specialties (e.g. financial analytics) make better use of existing skills you you gained as an investment banker.

Hope this was helpful. Happy to help anyone with questions or interest in this area.
Was this a self serving, lets rub one out thinking about myself kinda thing or are you trying to get resumes...how does this work?
I was thinking the same thing.
Actually post was sincere and intended to be helpful. Certainly not relevant to everyone, feel free to move on if it's not relevant to you.
Am I biased? If by that you mean proud to have created meaningful jobs for sincere hard working people, yes. Well intentioned? Definitely. Resumes? Sure firms are always happy to get resumes from the right talent. There is a point here about jobs. We've created a a bunch since 2005 and even more since 2008.
My apologies if the post came off as having no benefit to you. I hope it has benefit for some others. Have a good weekend…

This sort of post does not promote brand equity. That will be $400. Pleasure doing business.
If drinking starts early on Fridays, this might be my kinda firm. :-)
