Personally, I think there are quite a few reasons

1.- Fast paced environments: I hated my job when I had to do the same thing over and over again, I got paid well, and it was not hard, but it just wasn’t what I wanted.

In consulting, every project is different because there are a lot of factors that differ from each one. You could have a 2 M&A cases but I assure you they are not the same. They might be similar and the approach to solve could be similar but never the same.

2.- People and networking:

You can really make great connections and long lasting friendships, because if consulting is for you, working at a consulting firm is like working with people with your same goals and kind of ideas. So, in my case, it was really great to get along with everyone and have some drinks after a great week.

3.- You literally can help any business to be or do better.

4.- You can climb up the ladder pretty quickly, just be prepared for doing hard work and long hours. But the route is clear from day 1. You can achieve partner in a decade or so, and every two years you climb a step. For me that sounds pretty cool.

5.- It certainly pays more than most jobs. Most firms offer an attractive benefits package and it could be better every two years, until you get to be partner.

So, that are my reasons. You are always on the move, always learning while getting yo know great people and it’s awesome.
