Do I not like consulting because it's hard sometimes and the pressure/anxiety of being wrong and getting berated gets to me or do i genuinely not care about the work and clients?

Consulting isnt for everyone. Find a new job. Life is too short to be in a job you hate.

Hmm. Could one ever get hired at a good consultancy if you’re a person who’s gone through life okay with getting things wrong or making people angry? Not normally

And at the same time, isn’t it part and parcel of a (reasonably) high status, high paying job like consulting that there are consequences to getting things wrong and a high chance of making people angry no matter what? I think ‘yes’

This might be the core of so many of our problems. Plenty of us wanted what hurts us and couldn’t quite adjust to it

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I’ve been taking care of my extremely sick (literally on the verge of dying) dog. I work from home so it’s not too much of a nuisance but I feel distracted all day long and can hardly get anything done because I worry about my dog. I feel like I’d benefit from a day off or even half a day off but I’ve only been working for my firm for a month now, plus I have “discretionary time off.” Would it be okay for me to ask for a day off?

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
