I don’t do it myself, but I will say that my colleagues at Accenture who are focused on sales / BD seem to absolutely love it! But I will just encourage you to think about what you mean by BD as you’re considering it. In my Booz days, those folks were proposal writers. At Accenture, they do proposals but also do lots of relationship building with potential clients and collaborate a lot with project teams to support on contract growth so it’s a lot of people work.

I have to travel to my client every week and the client’s office is attached to a very nice hotel that’s $250 per night. There’s a hotel right across the street that’s $150 per night.. it’s alright, but not as great. Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

As a senior, I am dealing with trying to get answers from management but those above me want to be the filter and asker of all questions with the client. That is fine, each team has a preference.

But the questions do not seem to get asked or when they do the answer isn't right. How do others deal with this issue?

Anyone regret going into data and analytics? Sometimes I feel like I'm too dumb for it. I don't have a statistics background to really take things to the next level, and my colleagues don't have the hours to help me. My technical skills are OK, but nothing to shout at, especially when I don't really have the interest to learn. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and steer my career to a boring client-side position instead.
