I think it actually helps your candidacy. Isn't innovation and entrepreneurship the core of harvard's curriculum? I could be wrong though lol. Anyway, learning and experience > 100k... Which yells complacency to me. Btw, you're young enough to do this right? Haha

You're not a new dad or something right? Cuz if that's the case your wife or baby mama might hurt you lol

Haha correct, no baby, no student loans. It's definitely the best time to take the risk on a personal level, but am unsure if I should take the career risk. If I went and worked somewhere else, I'd be able to continue learning from people who know more than I do, rather than grinding on my own and figuring it all out along the way

The concerns are definitely 100% fear based. Entrepreneurship is absolutely my end goal, but it doesn't mean now / this opportunity is the right move

Never did one slide or worked in one excel file. I need a job like that. Lol

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
