Hi guys,
I'm a long time lurker, first time poster, so bear with me.
I'm getting out of the Army soon (officer, almost 6 years in) and am thinking about a move over to management consulting.
I've never had a full-time job outside of the Army, so I'm poking around. What professional similarities and differences would I be looking at when I make the jump?
Here's what I'm thinking so far:
Similarities
Still get to lead people
Still get to work in diverse ethnic, and international settings
Still get the intellectual stimulation of solving problems
Differences (e.g. professional benefits of move to business)
Work with wider variety of people
Not so stuck in one industry
Get to be a lot more entrepreneurial
Any other thoughts?
