Have you followed the stock Market? Listen to Acn2 the bubble is bursting really soon. Huge over valuation for many of these data aggregators. Find a company that doesn't just gather and massage data. Find someone that provides a great service, something no one else can do nearly as well. Great product. And they will last, all others are going to be in a hurricane soon

The real question is, how can we capitalize on this bubble? 😛

I agree there is a tech bubble right now in the valley however I don't see it affecting the giants - Google, uber and the like as much as it would some of the smaller players. I also think base salaries at the bigger companies will remain unchanged especially for positions requiring <5 years experience (stock compensation - entirely diff beast). I'm inclined towards SV because a lot of the consulting skills can be applied there while having the satisfaction of creating a product.

@KPMG1 I'm in the same boat. What kind of work are you doing in consulting?

@McK1 Are you BTO? There's a post from few days ago about a McKite having a conversation with his/her SV friends regarding the bubble. You the same person?

@OP Different person m8. Am in the VC space tho so am keen to hear ppls thoughts

@EY1 - who comes to mind on both ends of the spec turn?

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?

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?
