After working for PWC for 10 years and being top performer every year , I realize the firm cares little for technology consultants and their career.
There is a reason why most MD and Partners come from non technical background and resistance to move up any others who doesn’t fit their background .
Anyone with similar or different views ?

😆 not really.. initially was too focused to make a mark for myself and establish myself as an expert and then to build the network etc etc .. thinking maybe I am not doing everything right.It did take 6-7 years to come to a definitive conclusion.
Firm however did not hesitate to take my ideas and promote someone non technical

My firm has a lot of technologists in senior roles. But to get there you have to transform yourself and drive sales.

Agreed with this also.

Any leads for good contract doc review attorneys/companies? Working on a complex internal investigation that requires analysis far beyond simple responsiveness coding and getting quotes that outsource to India for a fraction of the cost of reviewing in house is actually not what I’m looking for. Saving money is a consideration but primary driver is dedicated/consistent time commitment. Team is stretched too thin to make it through the volume.
