She is probably at home by herself
In the same boat, consulting ain’t worth it. A few more $$$ won’t make me happy if I am always working on things I don’t even enjoy anymore
Good question C1. If I had the power to make my client not have a call I would. She wants to have a call so she is going to have one no matter what I say
Why is there a need for the call? Is it truly something cannot wait until Monday?
Have a team working the holiday weekend due to a 1/1 go live. Meetings would only be scheduled if necessary. No calls yet. Email only. What the heck does she want updates on that can't be done though email... Jesus.
Shit like that is why I switched to federal consulting. It’s not sexy but if you’re like me the work was never that interesting anyways, at least I only put in ~40 hours a week. There’s light on the other side, whether it be industry other consulting options. It is possible to have a comfortable lifestyle while making decent money
Are you an analyst? If so that sucks and your manager needs to learn to set boundaries
You’d be surprised at what happens when you learn to start saying “no”, tactfully. Bring in your leadership team if needed, but someone should have the backbone with the client to draw the line here.
Except pay raises and in demand skillet in federal isn't the same as commercial...huge trade offs but do agree you will get a balance working in federal that's unbecoming of regular commercial consulting.
Done both Fed or commercial....not much different
A4 - for me it has been a huge different, I used to work on average 50%+ more hours. As far as skill set I don’t find it that different for what Accenture does
I’m in Federal and basically work all the time. Worked every day this holiday weekend (albeit not 8 hours) and do 7/730 to 630/730 daily. I don’t know why people think Fed is easy.
Just don’t join the call, what’s the worse that can happen
D2 - people think federal is easy because it generally is, sounds like you’re on a shitty project
A3 actually I’ve been at the firm 11 years and have never had an easy schedule. People who don’t do significant BD night work a straight 45 but that’s never been the case for me.
