Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations.

People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!
