Where the hell do we apply after 3 years as tech consultants at a big 4? I feel overqualified for a senior analyst position in the industry, but often times under-qualified for the manager level.

@KPMG I've considered that, but I realized an MBA is not the solution to everything. Plus I have a coworker who got an MBA at Wharton, came back to Deloitte and is currently doing analyst level work as a Senior Consultant.

Hate the lack of stability of any form. One day you're a rockstar working with the best team and client and the next you're rolling off, getting shipped to a town where you can't even find a restaurant to grab a nice dinner, with a shitty team and doing the work of an intern. No one guarantees that you'll be on a good project if you are a good performer. Also, no work life balance. Constantly being sick while traveling. And they don't pay us that well to begin with...

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?

We also noticed that in 2019 we hit our highest revenue but did the fewest overall client work for that year. In 2020 and 2021 we did more client work but fell short of $800k revenue. Our avg rev per client is $2500, with a lot of single projects @ $500. Does it makes sense to increase our prices?
