Reddit reviews Managing The Professional Service Firm

This isn't a direct answer to your question - but as you continue in your business, I'd highly recommend grabbing a coy of Managing the Professional Services Firm.

Maintaining, growing and scaling a Prof. Services business is fundamentally different than, say, an e-commerce biz or brick-and-mortar retail etc.

I 100% agree with this. I've been reading Managing the Professional Services Firm and David makes it very clear that "prestige" is, in reality, a more advanced pyramid scheme marketing trick for HYPW (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Wharton) grads to lap up while the partners at those firms make all of the cash. I don't even think this is unique to consulting firms. Most big companies that heavily employ from the Ivies work this way, I believe.
