It’s been renamed. I’d probably call it Offense consulting or War consulting. It sounds way cooler than Defense consulting.

Within a year they’ll decide Dept of War doesn’t sound badass enough, and it’ll be the Dept of Straight-Up Murdering Yo Mama

If you have industry specific skills, then it will be tough. If you are slide maker, PMO , then it’s very easy

From the spelling you’ll be a great asset to Keir Starmer. Non-defence is his forte.

Haha didn’t notice the spelling, my bad 😭😭

What’s your functional expertise?

I think Accenture has a solid practice for org. Alix too. So taking the functional - rather than the industry - angle may be a way to reposition yourself outside the sector

Currently working in-house for a large bio pharma - like the company and most of the people, but the work is really getting monotonous and I just leaned through the grapevine that I am making significantly less money ($15k to $30k) than others in the same level/grade as me. The work I do is equally difficult and I have a smaller team because people have left, so there is no way “type” of law justifies this. I think I just did a poor job negotiating my salary and raise. Any tips on what I can do?

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?
