Is a lot of consulting just taking notes on meetings? I’m not a fan of this.

Not just a lot but all. I'm now a Super Duper Partner Bro and I've literally done nothing but take notes my entire 55 year career. It can be a grind but if you reserve the top inch for doodles it can actually be pretty fulfilling.

This makes me think of when my director sent us firm branded coloring books and colored pencils for Christmas one year 😂

Yes. And having a solid guidance being flipped aside by a random thought the client wants to pursue instead.

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?
