Does anyone have any advice on what to do if the consultant you’re working under is bad? How do I prevent myself looking bad when they’re doing a bad job?

Talk to your team leadership. If you recognize it, they probably do too.

I've got a consultant working under me that just got promoted to manager, and all the leadership on the team pulled me aside independently to ask what he actually does for my initiative

Are you at the analyst level?

By making them look good. - Sincerely, that bad consultant.

ALL because it wasn’t fair that this student was not passing.

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days.

Is there a good way to handle this situation?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
