I’ve never seen a reputable PE shop with better WLB than consulting. Are they transacting?

PE is a better WLB than consulting? That seems odd. As a follow-up question, do you get carry? That should factor into comp.

Guys I have been consulting since 1989. I have worked as employee for one of the big 5 consulting firms for 5 years as a manager. The rest of the time I have worked as an independent consulting contractor. Being independent is the way to go. You don’t have to put up with all the internal company stuff.

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?
