Recently turned down an opportunity to interview at BCG as I’m happy with my work life balance and co-workers at Accenture. First time in my life I feel like I’m not chasing prestige.

I turned down interviews with BCG and Bain when they wanted to push me down a level. Have plenty of friends in those firms and have grown wiser to drink consulting Kool aid and thinking that will somehow turn my life into something astonishing.

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
