    *Correction: I misspoke in the video, MBB firms have partners not shareholders. Thank you to @ster2600 for clarifying this

    I worked an MBB-level consulting firm and at a boutique. On balance, I was way happier at the boutique: the work was more interesting, the hours were better, and the culture more collegial / less toxic. The pay was a bit lower, but was still good, especially relative to the hours worked and the stress. More often than not, I was excited to come to work and work on a new project (the complete opposite of my experience at the MBB-level firm). The reasons I left the boutique were: 1) I wanted to leave consulting and figured I'd have better exit options coming from a more prestigious firm and 2) project volume was starting to slow (I spent too much time 'on the beach' between projects), which made me worried for my job security (as it turns out a bunch of people got laid off a few months after I left).

    I'm not willing to sell my soul for a piece of paper. Big consulting firms are the quintessence of the worst things going on in society

    You referenced 'Empire of Pain' - well, you should should also read 'When McKinsey comes to Town' - eye opening to say the absolute very least.

    MBB firms' commitment to shareholders? McKinsey and Bain do not have shareholders; they are partnerships.
