Battle of the Economic Consulting Firms: AG, NERA, Cornerstone, Brattle etc...

Econ consulting is not talked about very much on this forum. (the last thread comparing all the major firms is almost a decade old) There only seems to be a thread on it every couple years or so! I have offers from some firms above and want to get your thoughts. I'm particularly interested in b-school, general quality of exit opps, and prestige.

I know there's little distinguishing the firms above, but maybe some people with more experience can help demystify the rankings of these firms.

Other firms of note: Edgeworth, CRA.
