I’m thinking of quitting Accenture after being here a year due to a dearth of interesting projects and ones that fit my potential. I have a pre-health background and wanted to do more life sciences/biotech consulting but Accenture is far too big and political for specific projects like that. So I’m thinking I should leave and go someplace that actually specializes in this work. I’m here because I need suggestions about where/how to start looking!
