Am I the only one whose LinkedIn newsfeed is filled with “proud to announce...” posts from new hires joining consulting?
I too received multiple offers, but didn’t care to flex and humble brag lol...

Op, I don’t consider that humble bragging (but I also limit my LinkedIn connections to business, and not friends and family). I actually don’t want my family to know my title. I guess I can see your point for new hires though since they have a more limited network

I am thinking of leaving my stable full time job for a contract position (ongoing with no time frame) for a bigger raise (making an exra $20/hour) with a large tech company. I'll still get benefits through Aquent so it's not a huge loss. It just feels risky in terms of being a contractor and the potential for it to end at anytime. Seems like a good opportunity though to get my foot in the door and potentially apply for full time jobs later on

Hi Google - I am requesting guidance!

Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
