They pay more. They generally don’t have to play the bs games that we have to play on the agency side. Accenture is probably the best with regards to similarities to an agency experience. More cut throat than agencies.

Depends on what industry you’re talking about. All consultancies have strengths and weaknesses.

It’s more grown up but still incredibly political - way more so than agencies as the $ at stake is higher

Better go to tech, same pay (even more) as consultancies, but much better work/life and benefits

XD - they are not similar when it comes to the fight to be billable because the sales cycle for new engagements is completely different, and there are fewer specializations so everyone is competing for the same billable hours

Curios to know if the RE bowl think there will be a crash in RE prices since it was at a peak for the past couple years, a lot of realtors are saying no it won't but a fisherman won't say his fish is stink so I don't put much weight on their opinion. Also I am thinking these ppl that are paying way above the asking price for some properties will lose once the value in some of these properties drop. That's just my 2 cents, curious to know yours.

Hello! I’m new at fishbowl and would love to use this platform to grow more professionally through active listening and advice. That being said, I’m a strategist with the resume of a media person.
