What are other great consulting firms besides the Big 4? Looking to make a switch.

How do you deal with the feeling that your entire professional output is meaningless? I’m watching my company ignore every single one of my user-centric findings. They pay me to conduct deep-dive interviews and usability tests, but at the end of the day, the CEO just goes with whatever gut feeling he had. It’s soul-crushing.
I’m currently managing a project where the Product Manager and the Lead Designer are exes, and my life has become a high-stakes telenovela. Every single roadmap meeting turns into a passive-aggressive debate about user flows that feels way too personal. The rest of the engineering team just sits there on mute. Should I take this straight to HR?
The work culture on my team is pretty bad. There is high burn out, lots of fighting, finger pointing, working 24/7. When I bring this up, the leaders mention that this is just how tech culture is. It is worse at other companies. I haven’t worked at another company so I feel like I can’t counter. What should I say?
Slalom is a decent consulting firm, good work life balance, amazing culture, challenging work. The compensation is less than the Big 4, but could be considered worth it, given trade off for WL balance and the amazing people. Has many PM roles available, especially on the Salesforce side of things.
MBB, LEK, EY-P, S&, A&M, Oliver Wyman, Alix Partners, ZS, Booz. Probably more I forgot but there’s plenty it just depends what you want to do.
Tech implementation would be great. I’ve honestly just been in government, on government contracts, or working with government clients my entire career. Looking to venture away from government lol.
DM me for referral in ZS Associates.
Hello, is there another way to connect you? I can’t DM on here
Just out of curiosity, I would suggest not limiting yourself to the Consulting domains. For instance, most Tech firms e.g. Google, FB, LinkedIn would also have teams focused on Government relationships
