Only top performing analysts get promoted to consultant. If you are mediocre you have to get your promotion through the MBA route. If you are money driven it’s better to go the investment banking route and eventually break into private equity.
Ok. Now does it pay more to be a partner or better to flip houses?

Big consultants have large global network where they can draw the right guys to get the job done efficiently, if not, they not management get the stick
