Have you ever come to a crossroads in your career? 1 path is the safe/stable career accounting, senior role, but work is boring. 2nd path, consulting, entry level, but the work seems more fun, risky

As a consultant, I find the risk of creating power points to be the ultimate thrill. Nothing is more fun than trying to line up all the boxes of text with the tables and the fancy shapes and then rolling the dice of life when I present it to a room full of people not knowing if the entire file will reformat itself when I open it on presentation day. Call me a thrill junkie, but I live for this stuff.
