Yes, it was horrible. Stayed 8 months and went back to public. But I do indirect tax, so industry positions are by-and-large very dull compliance affairs with little to no upward mobility

The only thing I regret is the pay raises I probably missed out on, the income rise is obviously at a slower rate in industry but worth it if you want to prioritize family, and I’m content with how much time I will have now for my child due soon, and my home life.

You can always boomerang

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer.

She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

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?
