Fuck aerospace. Take the slowness and bureaucracy of the government, and combine it with the private sector ability to be laid off at the drop of a dime.

My dad has been there for 25+ years, and several friends have been there for 8+ (East Coast) Would not recommend. I know someone in the LA office and they seem a bit more laid back, but he’s in a non-managerial role. Agree with SC1 about the politics and layoffs

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?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
