The idea that “consultant”, which is the most basic possible description of our job, is title inflation is ludicrous.

Maybe just you

I’ve been seeing the title consultant after pretty much any job lately...thought there were certain firms for that but maybe not anymore?

I've felt title inflation has slowly become a thing in the last few years. Slapping consultant on any job seems to fit that idea

For industry, yeah I think it is. If I misunderstood op and they meant something else than I'm wrong and that's my bad

Pretty much because you’ll see it in every industry like talent consultant, hr consultant, retail consultant, benefits consultant, insurance consultant, etc. whereas analyst used to be there instead of consultant

I feel attacked

No. At consultant level so much more is expected

While accepting offer in Wipro my friend directly clicked accept and submitted after reading all the pages. But didn't fill the signature and date column in all sheet since text was not enabled. At bottom of every page in offer letter it shows as signed by user name ,user email address & date when she signed. Could anyone please confirm if this is fine or not ? Do we need to fill signature and date also above because she couldn't do anything now. Is this offer letter valid now?
