Will Rippetoe!

Haven’t found a good one / comparable.

What are your selection criteria? There seem to be so many people becoming coaches these days.

Exactly! So I’m just looking for someone who has a good amount of experience and credibility. Not just a trendy experimenter who makes grand promises but is not interested in genuinely understanding my path. Preferably someone based in Canada.

Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?
