I'm not seeing the benefit of joining a firm as an experienced hire unless you really enjoy travel. You can get a similar Client position at bout the same salary. What am I missing?

The ability to learn a lot cross functional skills, training that makes you more marketable, cross industry experience (if not tied to specific industry), dynamic teams which allow you to network and get insights. Am experiences hire that got bored with industry and the knowledge silos you are relegated to, basically, consulting is where you grow, industry is where you retire.

I agree with you that it is a great opportunity to expand your knowledge base and network, but I am finding that the salary is the same, actually less when you factor in the number of hours.

Depends. I worked my ass off in industry and Deloitte pays much better. Not sure how ACN compares.

The number of hours argument is BS. Yes you might work 60 hours but let's say you make 120k. Your argument is if you work 40 hours you'd be okay with 80k? So if you work 60 and get paid 110k you feel like you would be losing out? 110 is a lot more than 80 in terms of living.

Are you a builder or a runner? I came back to consulting from industry because I like building

Hi fishes,
I had interviewed for Cognizant and I was asked to submit my documents for offer letter release. This happened on the same day as my interview(Friday 6th May).

Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

Crowe is hiring for quite a few positions across the US (Internal Audit, IT controls and cyber/digital security, Compliance,etc)… I’m a manager and would think some of these niche areas have great opportunity for new folks to excel rather quickly. Great flexibility and mobility policies. I’d be happy to chat if interested and get you directly in touch with the right people internally.
