Is it a bad time to move into consulting? I got an offer from a pretty good firm but I'm also seeing a lot of gloom and doom about the industry's future. If you guys were in my place, would you jump in or jump ship?

If it’s truly a good firm I’d jump in. If they’re hiring you they have at least 1-2 years of need and that experience could be great for future job prospects

My personal opinion, consulting is a risk in that unless you know someone, and know they aren’t laying off. Given in today’s market, the business world is a risk to. I’ve been in both sides of the fence and loved consulting but not the risk.

What’s your specialty in?
