In Reply To: SPot on for the operations vs. strategy assessment. I personally find the strategy work more exciting, and much more intellectually stimulating. It is pretty typical for operations firms (accenture, PWC, ATK) to offer more money than the pure strategy players. ATK and Monitor are vastly different companies in terms of work, focus, size, and direction they're moving in.
Message: i just like to see if i can really influence someone's major life decision. no, but this is what i think: monitor has a better strategy reputation, but atk has a tremendous amount to offer if that is the kind of work you are looking for (more operations). monitor will also pay you more bonus. in terms of lifestyle, you will work really long hours at both places. i think monitor people are much ore laid back but also never hesitate to work 80 hour weeks. go with what your interests are in terms of what you want to end up doing in your day to day life.
