Extra details:
- To add additional context for the compensation point, let’s say your goal is to add twice as much value as you receive to be seen as a solid performer. Using random numbers here, in a normal corporate role in which you’re making $100K a year, you’d try to add $200K a year in value. In consulting, given that the client would be billed maybe $300K during that period of time, you’d need to try to add $600K in value while receiving $100K. In other words, the expectation of output can be higher in a consulting role (compared to a similar corporate role) in relation to what you receive.
