2 - Consulting vs. In-House: Lessons from Both Sides
In this episode of Hallway Comp, Anna and Julian dive into the real differences between consulting and in-house engineering roles. Anna reflects on her years consulting — highlighting rapid learning, clear priorities, and building trust fast — while Julian shares his experience working alongside consultants and what made those collaborations successful, as well as his in-house experiences.
They explore the implicit skills strong engineering managers need, the cultural differences between the two environments, and how in-house teams can borrow some of consulting’s clarity and executional rigor.
