Once the project is near the finish line, you must put extra efforts for making sure that it will finish on the date which was promised. That's why working overtime is very common when your project is near the submission. Irrespective of the challenges said, there are many advantages in working for a consultancy firm such as:
1. Exposure:
You get a different kind of exposure, where you need to finish the projects which are very different from one another. So, in the process, you get to learn different client perspectives, different work cultures, different priorities of the clients, basic technical know-how of different sectors of projects.
2. Time management:
As all the project work is constantly monitored to finish within a specific task time, you need to be on your toe, to make it happen. This need forces you to manage your time very efficiently and at the end of the day, you start appreciating yourself, for work you have produced.
3. Go to places:
Most of the times, projects require you too frequently visit or work from the actual location site itself. This is a tremendous opportunity for the ones who like to explore and travel.
4. Unlimited career growth:
You get to explore different sectors of business; your management skills get polished a lot, as compared to the guys who work in a single domain. This increases your market value and you will be sought after by the single domain as well as consultancy firms.
As I mentioned above, there are many advantages or perks of working in a consultancy firm, but at the same time, you need to understand the challenges you will be facing: Work-life balance depends on the organization culture, but most of the times, consultancy employees work longer hours than the single domain working professionals.
But that’s life is all about, isn’t it? The one who manages to balance the work and personal life is the happiest of us all.
PS: My work colleagues became my close friends, so it was easy for us to plan and hang out together.
