its just different. probably more work now, but no longer a slave to billable hours. if i want/need to leave mid-day and wfh i can. I no longer feel i "have to" be in the office at a certain time. if i dont have any afternoon meetings and i want a beer at lunch...i get one. vendors want to take me to lunch/events relatively frequently. the trick is managing expectations and delivering, which a person needed to do well in consulting anyway.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

I’m in FDD… I know I signed up for this but there’s something about the anxiety that comes on a Friday knowing that we still didn’t get access to VDR .. and how that anxiety grows as you enter the long weekend knowing that access can happen at any minute (or not) and you have to tippy-toe on the idea of potentially cancelling on your memorial weekend plans. I know the unpredictability of our job but phew 😮‍💨
