If this is someone coming out of school it’s understandable and not a bad lift off point for his career. Not sure this is a fair roast

On one hand I totally understand being excited about starting a new professional career as one’s college career comes to a close, but these always feel cringey to me. Can’t you just celebrate with your friends and family? These just make me think you’re needy and fishing for congrats / compliments. What’s even worse though is I’m now seeing parents posting congrats to their kids on their news jobs. (Thankful that I know my 20-something kids would kill me if I did this!)

It's harder to get into Deloitte than Harvard. Those chumps at McK have nothing on Deloitte. If they work for Deloitte they’ll get to make an impact that matters.

At McK, you get to pimp opioids and help bankrupt small countries.

At Accenture, you get to answer the phone for the State Umemployment Line.

So Deloitte sounds good...

There are lots of working class families where the youngest generation break through into jobs like this and it represents a generational shift. It also probably took a lot of effort on their part. Worth a thought before you cringe too much.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
