Should I choose a consulting office based on how staffing works there?
- Office Selection
I am comparing two offices and one seems to staff mostly locally while the other appears to use more cross-office teams. Is staffing model important enough to influence office choice for a new consultant?

Should airport and travel convenience affect which consulting office I choose?
- Office Selection
Two offices are similar for industry fit, but one has a much easier airport and better flight options. If travel ends up being part of the job, is that a reasonable factor in office selection or too minor to matter?

I am choosing between two offices that are both good professionally, but one city would be much easier for my partner's career. Is that a reasonable reason to choose an office even if the other one has slightly stronger industry exposure for me?

Mayank G.CoachTreat the partner connection as a positive signal, not the entire office decision. One strong conversation can tell you something about the people, but it cannot represent every team, practice or staffing experience in that location.
