Well consulting in general is a mixed bag, sometimes it's great, sometimes eh. If you want a crack at different tech stacks and more exposure to Microsoft Avanade and Accenture could provide that. This could you give access to nice clients if you're thinking of exit opportunities, since consulting may not be your end goal. If you want non-Microsoft or exposure to different stacks Accenture may be a better fit.

One thing I don't like about Avanade is how hard they drive obtaining certificates until you hit manager.

WLB they do a decent job at, I credit that to project leadership giving notice on stuff like that though. We're pretty transparent on project needs, so less surprises on expected workloads and roles. They'll do a pulse check on you about a month into your project to see how it's going. Generally we take care of those on our projects too.

Benefits are decent and a good variety of health insurance, 401k match is pretty standard I think (up to 6%).

Really looking to make a change from property management into project management.
There is nothing I don't do as a property manager- I essentially run the entire non profit association from process analysis to budget implementation. I've had a few calls, but mostly rejection.

Friday checkin!! How’s everyone doing? It’s finally pool weather in texas which is a big drinking trigger for me but also a big positive. I love being in the sun. It recharges me. I love to swim, float, listen to audiobooks or rock out to music in the pool. Throw a meat on the grill, peel a salad. I feel healthy and recharged and the Claws compliment the day well. Tricks me into thinking I can drink healthy.

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at. I have fucked up so much (led a disastrous client meeting, mistakes, slow to answer Qs, etc). My boss is picking up that this isn’t a “new” issue, its a me issue. I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
