Mostly useless unless and becoming passé unless you consult in that area, or work for a company that drank the Kool Aid. There's some neat statistics and process optimization techniques that are broadly applicable, but not so much that I'd dedicate my career to it.

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?

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
