Life Changing Money - Principal Heidrick & Struggles Employee Review

Pros

The pay if you are good at this job and work hard is incredible. First year principals are making over $500k. Second year principals $700k and third year $1M. Then Partners are all making $1M+ and many make a few million. Not many careers where that is possible particularly without a technical skillset.

Cons

Long hours. Work during vacations. Little work life balance.
