I’m not sure. I make a lot of money, but I’m not sure how much longer I want to work 8 am to 10 pm daily. The recent impacts of firms cutting people, big demand shifts etc have also taken a toll. If you’re in consulting long enough, you eventually see a lot of your friends quit or be out counseled

Relative to what? I have rarely met anyone who was sorry they did it. Some wished they had left sooner, and some wished they had stayed. So if your benchmark is are you glad you took the offer, then the answer seems to be yes.

Caveat, those CTL early the last few years due to lack of work. But they didn’t have the long hours, just the stress of being on the bench, knowing where that would lead. So that question would be about job security.... which really was never there.

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.
