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?

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

I'm a corporate slave, whether I have a hangover from Thursday night or not, whether I'm tired or not , sleepy or not ; I must go to work.

I’m a 23 year old consultant. I’ve always had a big interest in the automotive industry. I am thinking about trying to get some weekend shifts at a auto shop to learn how to do some of the basic things. Has anyone done something like this before? Is this even feasible? Honestly just trying to have a way to learn about cars as much as possible while working on some. Maybe it’s stupid but wanted to at least get some opinions on it. Thanks.
