Having the privilege to work crappy jobs in college / high school makes consulting so much easier. Thinking about that on tough days really puts things into perspective.

Same here OP.

I wasn't fed with a silver spoon at childbirth and had my life made out for me before I could walk, so I'm pretty grounded and grateful to have a great career ad a consultant. It's sad to see our industry trashed by so many people that take middle class white collar jobs for granted. If you've ever truly struggled in life, every day is a blessing to be able to work for a company like Deloitte.

Started from the bottom now we here!

Having little money because your crappy job doesn't pay well causes a lot of stress. I have a lot of stress at work but at least I don't have to stress about my next paycheck, how I am going to pay rent or buy food.

It's been a challenging year for me, including a rejection from GSAP. This week, I got into my top choice MBA program - and an M7 to boot! Just goes to show that sometimes Deloitte's decisions can be misaligned to the greater world.
I hope that Deloitte gives me the chance to be a good brand ambassador - but at the point, it's up to the firm if I even consider coming back :)
