When fortunate enough to have more than one consulting offer, a common sentiment is to go for the firm that is more prestigious or pays the most (oftentimes those go hand and hand). However, I always recommend that anyone who gets more than one consulting offer should think beyond prestige and pay. It is wise to take stock of what they value to see what consulting offers to more holistically match their life interests.

In order to solve a problem, you need to sell it first. To get it on the radar, and to have people devote time, resources and behavior change to address it. Human beings in our culture are wired to pay attention to problems that are: Visible –right in front of our eyes, not microscopic or far away. Non-chronic –rationalization is our specialty, and the reason we learn to rationalize is so that we don’t go insane when faced with long-term, persistent issues.

But there’s an emerging threat to this value proposition, and it’s coming from within. If you happen to know a young consultant at a top tier firm, you’ve probably heard them talking about it: the consulting industry is moving away from short-term strategy work, and towards long-term transformations.
