When things are going well, consulting is an awesome career. The first part is key and is often not the case.

Consulting is fantastic! As long as I can staff my own teams, I’ll stick around.

Don’t know if I’ll like selling, but delivering is great.

Yea, unfortunately my time may be coming to an end. I’m 7 years in and will be expected to focus on selling next year or two

You must be a recent grad and have just started 2 days ago. lol

I really liked consulting.

I'm actually a super cynical and pessimistic person, so working in consulting was an easy way to connect with a peer group of connecting with miserable people.

I went client now and hate how I have to fake optimism when I'm being fed bullshit from leaders and peers.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
