Pros-

  1. You will learn ownership
  2. You will be thrown at every problem which gives you an opportunity to learn a lot of things faster
  3. You will learn office politics, upward management and resource allocation from the most important person in the org.

Cons-

  1. If your founder is an idiot, you will learn to hate your job

Is this a good role to move to strategy consulting eventually?

Should I first look at strategy consulting at big4 or focus on founder’s office?
