Business Outlook

Pros

Paycheck is fairly good. Project based means lots of variation. If you make partner you can make millions.

Cons

Long hours - low compensation/hour. Meaningsless work. Most colleagues incredibly dull. Spending 4 days/week away will kill your soul.

Business Outlook

Pros

You get the opportunity to work with smart people and take on as much responsibility as you can take. Varied clients across the globe.

Cons

Long work hours make it difficult to balance life outside of work in some practices where other practices have a much better work load. Difference in scoping may have to do with maturity of leadership team.
