I did the opposite switch so I can tell you the cons is consulting. Utilization and billable hours was a huge con for me. Always having to keep track of exactly what you are doing so you can meet your metrics. Some times it’s easy, but in this current environment, it seems to be a struggle for a lot of people.

I know of some people who transferred to various groups in Consulting. Half of them stayed, half of them came back...

So, I landed a Customer Service Advisor job at Sitel in the UK. But I heard that they fire you without any prior notice or end their campaigns abruptly, leaving us with no job. Can’t be facing the risk of no livelihood, right? Can anyone who worked with Sitel give me the real truth? And does Sitel sponsor Tier 2 Visas as such? I am surely looking for stability, security and growth.
