S&C
Pros:
Exposure to different types of work (but so far haven’t done any consulting type of work)
Could potentially be a faster route to CL7
Cons:
More costly to projects: I’ve heard that S&C people cost more to the project
Takes longer to get promoted. Generally it takes about 3-4 years to be promoted to CL7.
Cannot align to H&PS (that’s where most of the biggest clients are and they have the biggest budget for promotions also)
Tech
Pros:
Faster to get promoted.
More budget for promotion.
Better bonuses.
Cons:
Exit options might be limited to tech, not so much of Management Consulting.
If things go south, it might take longer for you to get promoted to AM>M.
Lower pay than consulting (?)
What do you guys recommend?

It takes more than 3-4 years to reach CL7, unless you are including your 2.5 years in.
Even so, 6-7 years from fresh grad is considered fast. Of course there are exceptions.
Do you consider yourself better than everyone at your level? Take that in mind.
