To all the people complaining about being on the beach - I miss the beach after these 12-14 hour days. Enjoy it while you can.

No one says the beach isn't awesome - it's the fear that you might be fired that's terrifying for most people

All... I am FS but he said it isn't just FS

If you're in this industry (assuming consulting purple and not software wineriesm engineers, delivery, etc), your networking skills and ability to proactively pursue/find new opportunities is an important part of the skill sets and traits you need to be successful. With some exceptions, we generally have enough of a heads up before hitting the beach, and should be able to line up options before hitting it. Don't wait until the 11th hour to think about this stuff - get in front of it at least six weeks before your engagement ends and start lining stuff up! ...then, enjoy the sh!t out of that down time
