Let's be honest, none of us will get rich doing consulting unless we make Partner or start our own company. Stop bitching about 10-30k here or there on your salary

How about we all get together and start our own firm? We will save so much on hiring process and can leverage our cliebt connections

Depends on your definition of "rich". My goal (just like 99% of people) is to become financially independent, aka able to retire. Having an extra $10-30k a year to invest will help A LOT in reaching that goal sooner. The fact that you think a chunk of change like that doesn't matter proves how out of touch with reality you are.

If we're not going to be rich wouldn't that be the exact reason we should fret over a mere $10-$30k?

Sorry we frustrate you OP. But where I come from 10-30k is a hell of a lot of money. Perhaps it's chump change for you.

Thinking about going through the interview process at Accenture for a Consultant - Data Scientist. I have 9 yoe and I am currently a Senior Consultant Data Scientist at Deloitte making $113k. The Accenture recruiter said the most she could get for me, if all goes well is $145k and a Manager level is not on the table/no openings. The compensation growth is nice but I’m hesitant I’d be shooting my self in the foot with title/level. Is this something I should pursue? Any advice?
