I got an offer from firm 1 before the memorial holiday and have been stalling because I am waiting for an offer from firm 2..
I was working with a partner from firm 2 who got me an interview with the managing partner.. I got a verbal offer last week.. the staff told me they are processing the paperwork.

Any IT Consultants here (or similar roles)? Can you share what do you do and your responsibilities normally are? And how did you became one?

A professor in college (over a decade ago) said this to our class, and I always repeat it on Juneteenth: “Abraham Lincoln did not free the slaves. The slaves freed themselves.” Hopefully more and more people continue to understand what that means.
