COVID special leave accrual means I have 135 days of leave walking out the door. Is there anything that would prevent me from double-dipping?

I am looking at Big 4 government consulting roles.

I see. Got it.

I would stay away from big4 consulting. They tend to bring you in the manager level which isn’t that senior. The smaller boutiques would give you more of a chance Of coming in at a more appropriate level

Gov consulting has has long and wild hours for me, but our project is highly visible. It’s project dependent — then at higher levels one must do business development, which is time consuming.

Thank you.
