the product company versus the consultancy

A successful SaaS model product company will have high margin profits from recurring revenue and this more than anything else will make it a good place to work. The day to day slog at a successful tech consultancy will be a lot tougher but will attract top talent and ultimately provide more opportunities to learn and a greater diversity of things to learn. The diversity comes from a greater number of greenfield applications (in lieu of extending what already exists) and this is the thing that draws in the heavy-hitters too. And yet, if you ever want to get past the flashing lights and inadequacy of upkeep to really work on a business problem and understand a domain, it will happen at the product company.
