I started in this industry over 15 years ago and can honestly say it is in free fall. We used to do really market leading, interesting work. A combination of clients building their own internal consulting teams and really squeezing us on margins has meant we now only do work a) our clients don’t think they can deliver in time putting huge pressure on our health and well-being and b) they simply don’t want to do the work due to it being paper pushing and soul destroying work

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
