There will be a client wherever you go!

I would disagree that there will be a client everywhere one goes. This is true only for profit/revenue centric roles anywhere. You can always decide to be cost or investment centre, which is a good life to be honest.
Also not all clients are same. Obviously you create better relationships if you're on the same side (within same firm) working as internal consultants.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
