What sort of hours do you work? (: My experience has been has consulting is very lucrative, very intense work, with periods of being paid to sit on a chair and do nothing because of (corporate reason if the day here). Furthermore, you’re never “part of the team”, you’re “that extra guy who leaves in 12-18 weeks”, and although you form lots of trivial connections, you don’t stay around long enough to form deep relationships with any work colleagues. There are also plenty of “cog in the machine” consultancy firms that just hire whatever random dickhead and give them a training course or two then fob them off to companies that need an expert in whatever the flavour of the day is. You join the ranks of consultants, you get the skeptical looks from other folk who’ve encountered clueless consultants. For better or worse, you get judged for it. If that’s what you’re into, sure. …but it’s not a great job for everyone. Yucky doesn’t necessarily mean “slimly sales job”; it might just mean, not a comfy 9-5 job.
