Anyone here work as a consultant?

I work as Consultant. (Critical Facilites/Infrastructure)

Work from home, company car and access to King Air for travel. Dream career.

I'd take this to the money talk board, if any TD board. You won't find the audience here that you need.

I'll throw in my limited exposure to the management consulting. I work on the Advisory side of a Big 4 accounting firm but don't work on a lot of management consulting projects. I am pretty well connected with that side of the firm and have considered crossing over, but I think there are clearly better places to do MC, especially if you want to be doing enterprise level strategy work.

Getting into strategy consulting at a prestigious firm is incredibly difficult, so trying to get on the consulting side of an accounting firm and doing operational consulting would be more reasonable and still involve the lifestyle of a consultant. They travel a ton and most I know enjoy it. Managers and above need to sell work to really succeed so keep that in mind. Also, at the staff and senior level, you have to deal with the politics of aligning yourself with the best leadership and desirable projects. Based on your age, you'd probably enter as a Senior Associate, not a Manager. Also, hours can be bad but you are given a lot of flexibility and independence. I find a lot of consultants are jack of all trade types, which can be interesting and challenging, but sometimes I think it's detrimental to the quality of work delivered. I'd suggest relying on your industry experience to pigeon hole yourself as an expert in your field rather than being used as a jack of all trades.

That was a bit of rambling, but I hope that provides at least a little insight.

I'm in consulting as well. Questions?
