Joined. Full of hope. Leaving you are weighed down by the knowledge of how the sausage is made, the only happiness leaving is knowing you have escaped.

And yeah, nobody cares when you leave, most people are soon forgotten

The day I joined. Back then I thought I was really about to make a difference and work in all the best projects globally. When I left, I didn’t get so much as a “thanks!” from my teammates/practice, and that was sad for me.

When I joined Accenture it was probably the best first day of anything. After several engagements I got on one with 3 months of 80+ hours a week followed by a month of 120+ hour weeks and everything was terrible. I was so sad to go.
