Has anyone ever gone from consulting to a university? And not teaching - more of like a staff ops role (accounting, IT, etc). My good friend made the switch last year and took a giant pay cut but it seems like the most chill job ever. She gets basically every break the students get (minus summer break) off.

That’s the trade off! But it totally is a lifestyle job. With that said, while upward mobility is limited, university CFOs/COOs/etc do make a lot of money for the limited work hours. Pension package is also nice...

Yeah definitely. Considering switching, but living alone and in debt don’t think I can do it quite yet. Sounds great though

I want to join Oracle for its brand, but Amadeus on the whole provides better benefits than Oracle like transportation, food facilities and better hikes. Is it true hikes in Oracle are terrible?

And how is the job security in Amadeus?
