Is consulting in NL actually tougher work than industry?

Do you ever find this industry to be superficial? I mean, I've made some great connections along the way, but a lot of the culture is just not for me. People seem to care about the wrong things

I was hired a few months ago by D to do data science. I am not doing data science currently, is there a way I can switch roles internally? Should I talk to my coach?

Does anyone know if we get Verizon or Apple discounts through Accenture? If so, where do I find more info? Buying a new phone at the moment

I finished final rounds 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back. I followed up with the hiring manager and he said he hopes to give me an update within a week. Does this mean I’m rejected or they’re still interviewing other candidates?

Got a job offer with a lower base salary but a guaranteed bonus structure that puts me ahead of my current pay at the end of each year. Has anyone moved to a position with a compensation structure like this? Was it hard to adjust when it came to your monthly finances?

How are onsite opportunities at Verizon?

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Any book recommendations for philosophy, psychology, and business? Or any book you read last year changed your values? Going to fly international, gonna read it on flight. 😍

How do you protect your performance when you are being used as a scapegoat? I have turned to emailing and flagging things to senior team members so I have a trail, but I hate calling out peoples lies / mistakes. I am tired of playing along with their false pretenses and getting hit with more work and no support as a result so they can look good.

Consulting firms, how does your company use utilization as a performance metric? And what are your targets (e.g, Junior practitioners vs senior)
