Would you guys say I should go into consulting?I want: serious intellectual challenges. Colleagues who're passably interesting people (neither autistic nerds nor sociopathic) and super-smart. Pretty high pressure, but 60 hour weeks rather than 90. To gain the sort of experience that opens up a wide range of options in the future. Low bullshit, low jargon, but rather genuine, original analysis. Assume I have the academics/internship/skills to be a pretty decent candidate - my concern is rather for cultural fit, ideally to avoid getting bitter & burnt out in a couple of years' time. Perhaps this is utopian, but...I'm thinking the top firms that aren't MBBB or Big 4 - London based. Would you say that's a decent plan? Other suggestions?

Yeah that sounds about right. Not sure if you've done consulting before though, but just be prepared to be disappointed... It's all too hyped out there with the advertising and recruitment schemes...

True; careers in industry and other professions aren't all they're cracked up to be either though.
