Prestige vs career
Hi guys,
Hope you shed some light to a friends problem. A little of his background, his a really smart guy currently working as a Senior consultant (2 years away to make manager) in Risk Advisory at Deloitte (North Europe), he's treated like a rockstar by his peers, managers and even partners... he's given top engagements and are given as well the chance to develop a full new line of service from scratch, however he sometimes thinks on transfer to strategy (moving internally from RA to Monitor). Have talked to him and deduced the following conclusions:
RA Deloitte
Pros:
- Rockstar in Risk advisory, everybody loves him
- Projection + ambition (he wants to make partner). As a senior consultant sold last year ~400K in revenues
- Top projects are "almost" always given to him
Cons:
- He thinks could enjoy much more working in strategy engagements
Deloitte Strategy (Monitor deloitte)
Pros:
- Engagements (more interesting)
- Benefits package (MBA funding, salary, etc)
Cons:
- He would land with the same category and pretty much being unknown
- Ambition / "quality" of the people in Strategy are not the same than in RA (more ambitious, clever) so probably he is going to be at par with his colleagues (more difficult to promote)
- He wants to make partner... being in strategy is way more difficult that it is in Risk Advisory (for quality of people, lesser engagements and more external competition)
So guys, what do you think?, should he try the Strategy journey taken into consideration his career objective is making partner?
Kind regards
