25? Your hair lasted four years longer than mine did. I used to have a beautiful mullet (back when it was considered appropriate), but alas, I’ve been forced to pretend to enjoy my chrome dome

Started losing mine at 20, tried denial for a decade then shaved it off. Only answer is to be proud of your naked bonce. Some people will find it incredibly attractive and powerful, some will look down on you for it. Why would you care about the latter group? Nothing will make it grow back, even if you remove all the stress from your life. Learn to not care about it or be miserable for ever. Oh, and try pitbull headshaver - amazing time saver. And moisturize that lovely head Always moisturize.

Apologize to slalom folks for slamming the name temporarily. It was accenture

Slalom's growth is demanding a culture change. I think we'll look more like the big 4 sooner than we want.

You'll know we've arrived when you see ill advised airport marketing.

OP, Own Your Future,
1- Stop blaming Accenture
2- Take decisive actions
3- Shave your head
4- Find a real consulting firm while you’re on a roll... Not a staffing agency :)

(I say this as a man that has lost most of my hair before 25. Didn't stop me from an active social life; confidence is a far greater aphrodisiac than a full head of hair, I've found.)

Good god. Yes, I'll be 'that guy': LOSING hair. 1 "o" . Although in this instance, the hair is being 'loosened' from your scalp at an accelerated pace, and subsequently failing to regenerate, so the use of the word 'loose' is -- unintentionally -- not far off the mark. That said, there is no such word as "loosing" . College educated 'consultants' should flog themselves for this.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
