Boutique Consulting

Hello, I was looking to see if anyone has heard back from the economic consulting firms, I applied around Oct/Nov and I'm not sure about their timelines, I haven't been able to find if there is an industry standard or not. Last year Brattle sent their first-round interview invitations in the middle...

HI guys, is the BNP Securities Services a back office role like operations? Should I choose a NYC small-mid size consulting firm or BNP Securities Services in Denver?

I typically see a lot of scrutiny and whatnot from younger analysts and people who are 1-3 years into consulting, but I'm genuinely curious; are there people out there who enjoy their jobs enough to stick with it for 5-7 or even 7-10+ years? For those of you who do genuinely enjoy or have at least...

I'm looking to break into consulting from finance (burn out), and I'm wondering what you consider to be the "creme de la creme" of work/life balance consulting jobs & why? Also, perhaps you can help me define the consulting service line that fits my preferences: Client facing & 1) not so much insane...

I am a PhD in Chemical Engineering who will be joining a top life science consulting firm soon. I am wondering what exit opportunities are there besides big pharma or biotech startups especially if I don't like this industry so much. For example, can one shift to MBB firms? Or to the chemicals...

Fellow Monkeys, I've occassionally followed WSO threads since university and there's been some good advice. I'm sensing a blocker and can do with thoughts from the consulting community/looping in with those in strategy consulting for a view. I've been working in FS implementation consulting for...

Sorry, I'm a little new to consulting so I have a question about the industry. It's pretty established that MBB is at the top, followed by strategy firms like LEK and Oliver Wyman and then the Big 4. How big is the dropoff after these top 10-15 firms for career trajectory and comp and business...

Graduating from college this May, I've managed to land an offer at a boutique consulting firm in NYC. The boutique works exclusively with PE firms, though it seems to be mainly in an executive search capacity.

I've stumbled across this boutique consulting firm called inCode at my school. They seem to be focused on telecom, media and tech consulting.

I am a graduating engineering undergrad and I took a consulting position with a newer and very small firm (less than 20 consultants). They do work that is specific to one type of regulation in one industry. Despite not being well-known and not having as much prestige, they pay extremely well, and I...

Friend is deciding between 2 offers: boutique financial consulting (not OW, still fairly well-known) and big 4 advisory, financial group. They want to move on to bschool in 2 years and/or explore other exit opps. No particular devotion to finance. Which would give better bschool or career exit opps?
