Just got an offer as a Data Analytics Solution Consultant (remote) in Deloitte GPS USDC. The base pay is 10K higher, and it is probably good for my resume. However, I was looking to expand my data analytics skills, and they gave an impression that my work will mostly just be fraud detection and boring tasks. Should I reject it if my goal is to expand my skillsets? Also, is the work life balance bad for USDC too? I am seeing all the horror stoires

From my experience at deloitte, they'll sell you on potential work you can do for a project but you may never actually do that work. And get stuck in unrelated tasks because they're higher on the client's priority list. This has happened to me multiple times on multiple projects (also as someone who works in data analytics), and I actually feel like the opportunity cost is that I lost years where I could've been learning more data related skills but instead spent that time making PowerPoints.
