The world of higher ed is basically a 180 from consulting. Much much slower, less sophisticated technology in some areas (could have some advanced collaboration tools), work life balance is way better. I would say it’s similar to industry, possibly less fast paced. Can you talk to someone in the area now? Could be really rewarding depending on what your goals are.

I want to share my TCS interview experience. I got selected for one project TR, MR everything was over. The manager of the project confirmed me that I m selected and I will get offer letter soon. I was excited to join TCS due to job security,wlb, etc.
Later when I check with the HR they are saying we couldn't proceed as you are selected for some other project. I was shocked to hear this. But till now i m waiting for other project call 😂. I lost trust in TCS. They are wasting our time,efforts
